Mine shudders for an instant when I start to engage the clutch from a stand still in 1st gear.
I think I'll take it to the dealer next week and let them tell me is is totally normal and attributed to the special heavy weight rear differential lubricant used for the LSD or something.
My last Z didn't do this so I am thinking it is "not" normal.

Since the day I bought this car, I've thought that there was a tremendous amount of hi-freq. vibration above 4K RPM. Wasn't sure if that was engine or tranny, but it almost makes me nervous to push the car to redline.
Regarding the wiper/clutch interaction, I think that's just because the wiper motor/assembly and the clutch hinge point are both bolted to the firewall. The wiper motor uses a pretty fair amount of torque to swing the wipers with suc a small "moment" (i.e. length of arm on the motor shaft). you probably feel the "vibration" when the wipers begin to move, and when they switch directions. That's just the wiper motor exerting force against it's mount points on the firewall, so you feel it through the clutch pedal.

Do I read this thread as saying it's normal for this vibration? My 06' has what I describe as a high freq vibration in the pedal as I first depress it to shift. The vibration is much more pronounced when shifting at 3k and above, increasing the vibration with increasing rpm shifts. Once the pedal gets past the first inch or two of travel the vibration goes away. Not the end of the world, but it's very annoying in addition to always making me wonder whether something is wrong and that maybe I should take it in to have the dealer look at it. But maybe this is just the way it's meant to feel? I've been meaning to stop by the dealer some day and see if I couldn't take one or two MT Z's out for tests to see if they do it too.

I can feel the gears spinning when i come to a quick stop, especially when i'm making a U-turn and depress the clutch and move the shifter back & forth in neutral. Wonder what it is, the synchros?
