GTO, if its like the camaro/transam will have a hydraulic clutche, never driven one but I'm 99% certain its hydraulic. Lotsa great points made about the clutch already. I'd echo that you'll quickly get used to it. My wife used to drive a Passat, she is 5-3 and is small woman and has no issue w/ the clutch. Heck she even noticed the Pro-5.0 shifter (w/ stock handle and knob) and asked if that was stock or not because she really liked it. AND, the centerforce will be way easier down the road. I put one in my LX and darn near put a dent in the floor and it felt as easy as the Passat, it felt like cheating!
