I have indeed induced a rear wheel slide on a motorcycle with over aggresive down shiftiing. I'm not sure why you think a car is any different, both must be operated within the confines of the gear ratios and redline. One big difference between sport bikes and cars is that with the bike you typically have 11, 500 to 16,500 rpm to work with... as far as slipper clutches go, perhaps it's due to there hardware not being up to the task of handling the weight..
