Drove my womans Scion Tc for 2 weeks, got back in my car and man the Z's clutch is stiff. More power needs more clamping force for a clutch. What helps me is letting the rpm's go a little bit higher before I let out the clutch.

spot on! This is one of those cars which you CANT "lug" and will have to kick those revs up to avoid stalling.

That's true, although the clutch in the z is stiffer than that of a corvette, CTS-V (556 hp), etc....
