your calling a 3000 plus lb, 600 hp pro touring car a momentum car? Miatas and bmw spec e30 are momentum cars. Watch a rolex gt race or trans am race, they use engine braking, during downshifting all the time, on certain corners they will heel and toe because they can enter the turn at a certain speed but as they go thru it they need a gear change, so AS TO NOT UNSETTLE THE CAR, you would blip throttle and change gears.
Our cars are so fast you need to find the quickest way to slow down before turn in, as to allow susp to come out of bump, and in big hp 3000lb cars this is braking hard and engine braking, it doesnt mean your going slower entering the turn, it means your carrying so much more speed up into the turn you need to do this. But hey what do i know.
