Why not have both?

As we can see here in this official scientific chart from the internets, your supposition that one can have a smooth clutch and horse powers is wrong.

The z's transmission has no negative impact on things like lap times, and it doesn't appear to functionally inhibit the car at all. It just doesn't put a smile on your face the way an rx8 transmission does.
I don't understand how poeple figure this. I love the transmission in the Z. Once you feel it out I think its really awesome. Can spin the tires, can cruise around with really smooth shifts.... Maybe i'm just a noob thinking my car has a good tranny

Clutch feel is subjective. I also don't mind the Z's clutch feel. But others like a different feel.

Ive seen many complaints on the feel of the clutch and how people had to get "used to it." From the first test drive till now it has always felt fine too me, never stalled or a had a problem between gears. Ive also driven a wide array of different clutches from stock to triple disks and unsprung.

For me it was less clutch pedal feel and more annoying shifting feel. The Z transmission does the job without a doubt but it doesn't make you feel good about it.

This. The clutch assist is bit different, but it is the gate feel that got me.

After driving a friends V6 mustang at the drag strip last night, I have absolutely no complaints about our clutch or transmission. His tranny felt rather notchy especially when putting it in first gear, and i don't even want to talk about the clutch.

Drive an S2000 and then you'll be ruined for life.
