Default 370 clutch woes

I've driven nothing but z's for 30 years, leasing for 3 years then a new Enthusiast coupe 6-spd.
In '07 and '04 I found that the clutch engagement point was way too high and too abrupt.
In both cars I had to adjust the clutch height using step-by-step instructions I got off various enthusiast fora. It was not an easy job, but it was a big improvement.

This month I was less than shocked to find the same problem is clearly present on my new 370Z Coupe (Touring options).
Once the weather warms so my hands aren't too stiff, I will again endeavor to crawl upside down beneath the dash, facing forward and down, feet up in the air, headlight squished against the floor, and again perform this unpleasant cramped but now-familiar adjustment.

Others may counsel patience, but my experience has been otherwise: it doesn't tend to improve on its own, so it becomes a question of how skilled you are at accepting it so.

I love to drive my Z's. Hard. And I simply refuse to accept that I must shift with my knee
up in the air.

Wait and see how you feel about in in 2-3 months... the first go at DIY adjustment can be awkward- it was a little rough for me!
