Default clutch bites slow?

Not sure if it is just me or all 370Z users get this issue.

When I shift up, the clutch bite is quite sluggish. It takes good 0.5sec (may be a little exaggerated) after I let go my clutch pedal, especially worse going from 2nd to 3rd (redline) where the rpm drop is larger than going from 4th to 5th etc

It feels like the clutch is almost slipping, although it does not slip once it fully bites.

I am suspecting that this is due to the super heavy flywheel on these cars, but my old 350z did not have this problem even with stock flywheels.

I remember seeing some posts about slave clutch cylinder being pos in the 370z, is this one of the symptoms?
