08 LS3 Clutch Problems??

I have about 3300 miles on the clock now and have noticed that when beating on the car a bit, the clutch pedal is very slow to come off the floor. I had an F-Body for 9 years and I thought GM cured the clutch master cylinder issues long ago. Anyone know if the C6's have the same drill-out-the-master issues that the F-body's had?

Change the clutch fluid Jim. I haven't had this problem at all and I have 13,500 miles on the car. I have changed the clutch fluid about 6 times so far.

I upgraded mine right from the start. I have some friends here that are having clutch problems at around 6,000 miles although some arent seeing anything until 30,000.
