Man that clutch pedal is really hard to push to the floor it is also kinda hard to drive.
My question is why is the pedal so hard to push down to the floor as wards to the gt or ls1 ?

Yes, I drive my best friend's all the time. He has 465 rwhp & 496rwtq. That is a cable clutch vs. a hydrolic like our cars. The clutch is different from the GT that is why it is harder.

I didnt think it was hard to drive, but I use to own a gt so I was use to it. It is a cable clutch (nicer than hydrolic *opinion*) vs a hydrolic like ours. I like the feel of it better too. Feels like no slop or anything. You distinctly feel when the clutch starts grabbing and what not.

I noticed that too in the GTs. I like the clutch much better. Is there any way to get that kind on feel in the clutch of a Z28.
