Thats cool man, but to say the clutch on the z06 is sourced from a $14k econobox manual tranny is misleading and incorrect.

The weak little pedal on the econobox is that way because the clutch is weak, not because they used hydraulic multiplication to make a very strong clutch easy to modulate.

I'm not sure what "feel" you are talking about your clutch pedal providing you -- you just press it down to release the drivetrain and release it to engage it. IMO most of the feel is in the back of your seat.

I'll take a super strong, well engineered clutch that I can easily modulate over a weaker one that makes me do all the work (just so I can feel like a "tough guy"?) any day.

Anyway.. yeah, "The clutch pedal is softer than I prefer" is something you can say about the Z06 and unlike your comparing it to a geo metro, it wouldn't attract anyone calling out the B.S.
