Maybe your left leg is just weak....JFWY.

Its different if you're in a car with a Stage III clutch where you have to fucking step on it for it to go down. But either way, in stop & go, even a Civic's clutch is fucking annoying.

Um, doesn't work like that. You would only shift 3 times, and they are anything but equally spaced.

THAT is a Stage III clutch. Grabs like a sumnabitch, usually accompanied by a REALLY stiff pedal. They make it for all sorts of transmissions.

There is NO WAY IN HELL John's Evo would touch a C6 on a track. It just wouldn't happen. Both cars can corner like a dream...but any advantage his car has in the turns (which would be small, if any) would immediatly be destroyed as soon as they got to even the smallest straight part.

Being able to tune your suspension with the push of a button is godly, by the way.
