Is the clutch and flywheel considered heavy?

I think it's just some clutch and throw out bearing noise nothing to worry about. I put 46000 miles on the 350z before trading it and never had an issue with the noise.

i dont have my 370z yet...

however, like posted above, it could be the throw out bearing...

i say this because in germany i had a bmw that would do the exact same thing as described here. I took it to the bmw dealership in germany and they told me it was the throw out bearing and that it wasnt a issue yet, but it was a used b-mer and i didnt want to pay to have the bearing replaced, kept it for a few more years after that then sold it and moved to the states.

it always did that clunk when engaging the clutch too quickly and the ratchet sound when moving slow threw parking lots.
