I just learned to drive stick on my cousin's Z4. I noticed that the Z4 has a very light clutch. Even still, it gets a bit tiering at the end of the day, trying to balance out the clutch and gas. Keep in mind, I'm still a newbie to driving stick but I have gotten the hang of it very quickly. How hard is a Z4's clutch and gearbox to operate compared to a SN95? I'm thinking of getting a V6 SN95 as a practice car not too far off from now. Either that or a 2wd V6 5 speed Ranger. The reason for this is that they both have a similar 5 speed Tremec to the SN195 and they are both RWD. However, the SN95 has a clutch that is not hydrolicly assited which is equally important because I'm may want a kit Cobra instead. The Cobra would most likely have a mechanical clutch. So I was just wondering how much harder is it to operate a SN95 with a mechanical clutch and tremec shifter compared to a hydrolic clutch?

My '97 S-10 has a hydraulic clutch, and it's MUCH easier to operate than my GT. I haven't drive a Z4, but I can tell you Mustang clutches are very heavy, and have been for a long time.

Thanks, I'm 19 btw. I probably just need more practice driving stick. Since I don't got a real job yet, I'm still in college, my dad said he may hook me up with a stick when I get back to Florida. I'm studying in New York currently.

Yes, the current stang clutch can be a bit heavy .. But it isn't bad at all, really. only time its painful is if my legs are tired for one reason or another ... And even then only if you have to stand on it in traffic.
