Default Difference in T56 feel in Camaro vs Trans Am ?

So I recently sold my 2001 Camaro 6 speed and lately I've test driven a few Trans Ams and they just have a different feel. I put about 20k miles on the camaro, and sold it at 69k. stock transmission, clutch etc.

It might just be me, but I notice slight differences from driving my camaro:

-The shifter itself feels "stickier" in the TAs. My camaro felt more loose side to side and in and out of gears.
-The clutch travel seems slightly different. different "bite" point for the clutch

I know that the internals were the same in the camaros and TAs. I also get that every car is different though. Could transmission fluid or the amount of wear have anything to do with it?

Keep in mind I've only driven a few TAs. The cars I've looked at have had lower mileage and what I believe to be stock transmissions & clutches.
