Default Bought today, Clutch too late already!

The lease on my 2008 White 350z Enthusiast M6 ended today so I got me a 2010 White coupe Touring Manual 6spd since they couldn't get me an '11 or a coupe without Touring.

Anyway, my first test drive is today.
"I'll take it. But do one thing for me first: you've got to drop the engagement point on the clutch. I can't shift with my knee up in the air!"

The salesman confers out of my sight and returns "Sorry but it can't be done.Up until recently it was possible but now it's a hydraulic linkage so we can't adjust that for you.
OTOH, it should get better by itself in time"

Well, I'd like to know if the patience I'm being asked to show would have some chance of being rewarded. I've driven Z coupes with manual trannys exclusively for over 30 years now, and it wouldn't be the first time that I had to lower the clutch pedal in a Z. But I've never liked doing it: squinting where there's no room for a headlight, getting cramped and greasy and upside down -esp at my age.

So- I'd like to know if I'm a-gonna have to do it again, cuz the present arrangement is just not something I'm willing to live with. A "new hydraulic clutch" that can't be adjusted?

Please, Friend, direct me to the most current and understandable primer you know about that takes you through lowering the clutch on a recent 370Z?

Thanks!
