Don't you have another clutch on your car now? I found that the GT clutches are a tad bit stiffer than a standard Carrera, but not by much.
This post sounds so wrong in the choice of words

Mike, my Z3 has the OEM clutch and its the most beautiful thing I've ever driven, albeit not as sensitive as the Z4s clutch, but really easy to drive..
My GT2 has a stronger pressure plate, but its not far off from the stock clutch, which in itself was a pain in the ass
Worst clutch I've ever tried was on my brothers x-SC'd Dodge Viper..

Wow
Someone stalled a car.
I've done if 100's of times. Including Grids racing.
It proves he was being careful. If he slammed it in gear and squelched off he'd look the fool to me.
My 1 cent

Yeah...not sure what the issue is. The valet didn't rev it to the moon and was being very careful driving a car that isn't an easy stick. Stalling a car you have never driven while trying not to pull an Alzilla is something I think every stick driver can relate to. Stupid video, stupider criticism.

The one and only time I had to have a valet park my car, he stalled it backing into a space. All to the jeers of me and my friends. GT2 clutch is very stiff. Not a surprise that he messed up.
