C5 clutch, daily driver?
I'm about to go pickup an 00 FRC on Friday. I used to own a 02 Z06 and drove it as a daily driver. I loved the Z06 clutch as it was very lightweight and felt easy for day to day driving (I had a 350z and if you were not perfect with the clutch you felt it). I'm going to drive the car before I buy it, but I have never driven a standard vette before. Is there noticeable difference between a z06 clutch and standard vettes?

C5's use hydraulic clutches, they feel the same. A Z06 clutch is heavy duty and will take more HP and abuse than a regular C5 clutch.
Now, my 1964 VERT with M22 Rockcrusher transmission had a HEAVY clutch. If you got in traffic, your leg would hurt !

The Z06 assembly is a direct drop in replacement. Holds more Hp/Tq. No perceptible pedal difference when I did this. BTW, install the late model Z06 slave assembly and remote bleeder hose.
