Well I bought my 03 touring close to a year ago and I've always thought my clutch was a little too stiff. I mean your leg gets tired and cramps while driving in traffic. I remember when I was test driving other z the clutch never felt this stiff.
A couple meets ago I drove a fellow Z member ride and I swear I had trouble with it at first. Then last night I met up with another z member and we drove each others cars turns out his clutch was tons softer than mine. The first thing he asked me was if I had an aftermarket clutch, even my brother thinks I do. Now its bugging me and I want to find out if the previous owner had one put in. How could I find out?
There was a really old thread (2003) that I came upon on the forums here... people were saying that some clutches have a stiffer feel than others, despite being the same exact car.
The stock clutch is much stiffer than most of the aftermarkets clutches I've driven - JWT, NISMO anyway. If your Z is an '03 I'd guess the clutch is stock.
