Question hydraulic clutch weight

Still in the market for a 350z... waiting for my current car to sell, hopefully soon!

So i was at the Nissan dealer on Sat. for a test drive. First impressions, the car is quiet and very smooth. Pulling out of the lot and for the rest of the drive i just couldn't get used to the clutch. Does the Z have some sort of power assisted clutch? There can't be much more than 5lbs of weight to it. I found it hard to modulate it was soooo light.

I'm just wondering why.

You serious ?

I asked the sales manager after the drive and he said it was because it's "a hydraulic clutch"....

I told him that doesn't make any sense unless it's like power assisted hydraulic brakes...

What car have you been driving? I drove a Ford Ranger and Toyota Paseo before the Z, and the Z's clutch is heavier than both of those. Maybe it's just that your current clutch is heavier so the Z's feels light in comparison. Does your right leg happen to be bigger than your left? Maybe that's the problem .
