i find that the throttle response is not 100% consistent. the electronics must sense some subtle not-so-obvious difference and not allow the throttle to come up the same every single time. other instructors/drivers have made this comment when driving my car for a session or two.

Also, if you try to rev it once and you don't get enough throttle blip...good luck trying to get it to blip right away again without having to mash it down more than you want to (assuming you even have enough time to attempt another blip). it most often refuses to sufficiently respond to the additional blip.

I have found that waiting until the last possible moment to press the clutch pedal and initiating the blip/shift helps keep the tranny and engine at similar enough speeds to make the blip/shift smoother. when i get early to the clutch it can cause problems.
