Default Mine is less than an inch above the floor...

Seems like more but I can feel it slightly catching right above the floor.

Default I drove a Caddie CTS-V yesterday and the clutch in that car has the shortest travel of any

car I have ever driven - push it in about two inches - no more and it is ON the floor. Of course that was the best part of the car - next was the engine....just didnt have the handling FEEL of my M3 and the interior is no where near an Audi.

Default Z8 has the shortest clutch I've ever driven. Like 1.5" and immediate friction.

Sweet as hell though.

Default Pretty tight. The play action is very smooth and fluid, but the friction point is very tight.

My clutch doesn't engage until about 1/2 from the floor to full release. I'd say I have a good 1.5"-2" before I get friction.

Default Hehehe...same with the Z8.

I drove it over the weekend and it just makes my car seem SO slow.

With 8 throttle bodies that thing kicks. And all I use it about 500-600 rpms in each gear when rowing through the gears, it's literally....

bwahhhh...shift...bwahh.shift...bwahhahhaha..shift ...bwahhha.shift.

It's so fast. I love it. :-D
