What kind of old car is it?
2000 Z28.

The clutch was set up so that it grabbed probably...95% as SOON as it left the floor. And I'm not exaggerating. It was kinda ****** up, so it needed adjusting, but he drove it like that for a long time. Care to guess what happened to that clutch in no time? :-p

BTW, the pedal was extremely stiff to boot - probably triple the pressure needed over a normal clutch pedal, so your leg could easily get tired just holding the fucker in at a light lol. It was a pain in the ***.
