The slipper clutches have nothing to do with engine braking on the street. None of the deceleration comes anywhere close to enough force to cause the clutches to slip in any way. The main reason SS's feel like they have such limited engine braking compared to the 250 is that they are geared so much taller that the engine isn't revving nearly as fast at the equivalent road speed.
