On my way home last night I was thinking about this thread, and trying to see how long I was actually on the clutch. My POS juddering clutch is similar to the Z, and to make it smooth, you have to be on it for a little longer than other cars.

I had the clutch hooked up completely by time my front tires would touch the far side of a crosswalk. Only issue is IDK exactly how far that is...

If I have time today I'll see if I can take a Z out and make a video of starting it without cooking the clutch or lurching it.
