It's normal for the flat-6. The cylinders are at the same level as the oil. So from time to time you get a tiny bit of accumulation in the cylinder and that causes the smoke.

oh yeah one more question...i was inside the car and stepping onto the clutch and i found it way too heavy for a normal car which i had never stepped on any production car on the market with a clutch that heavy....i'm wondering whether the previous owner had changed the clutch to a racing clutch or something....?

smake at startup is normal, When you shut the car off make sure to let it run for a moment at idle http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...up-normal.html

These cars have a heavy clutch feel. It may be normal but then again I cant feel it on the forum so I can say forsure. I can tell you that it's most likly normal for it to have a heavy feel to it, After a while you will get used to it! i think it's more heavy than some of the other cars Ive had in the past.

Did you test drive the car before you bought it??

How do you know you will like it?

Smoke is normal as stated. Clutches normal and it helps make your left calf bigger than your right

Big giant clouds of blue smoke also normal.
Clutch is not heavy for manly man.

The GT cars have ZERO power assist on the clutch. Thus why it requires substantially more pressure to engage/disengage the clutch.
