Fairly confident I didn't have anything to do with this UNLESS:

-Dyno pulls. I had quite a few while tuning the car. Would that do it?
-Abuse of synchrorev match while downshifting.
-Z1 silicone hoses weren't reconnected properly? This isn't likely though since there wasn't a clutch line - just a brake booster hose.
-Gremlins

Grasping at straws here.

Want to reiterate this wasn't a catastrophic clutch failure. I've seen first-hand what that looks like. This was odd. Monday, the clutch "stuck" down towards the floor a couple times but with no grinding/burnt clutch smell. Oddly enough, it would still engage fine but the friction point was almost on the floor. I fixed it by flipping the clutch pedal back up with my toe. I assumed it was just getting caught n the floor mats.

Drove the car home from work on Mon night with no issues. Parked and went to bed. Got up in the morning, and the car simply would not drop into gear. The clutch pedal feels totally disconnected. I could/can push it down to the floor (it sorta clicks) and pop it back up with my foot.
