if you need a heavy clutch to feel like a man that is your business, I however only care that the clutch transmits the required torque, and that there is modulation available, a longer motion that is softer allows better modulation (for a given weight PP) as it is providing more mechanical advantage to your leg. Weight of clutch pedal should be proportionate to the TQ value of the Motor. It can be stiffer but it is of no advantage (other than making you feel like a man apparently)

No, I don't exactly know how a clutch works, is that a problem? Are you a physicist by chance? No? Well I'm not a mechanic or a technical car guy. Your point is moot.
Who said anything about feeling like a man? There are numerous posters here who feel the same way I do in regards to a soft clutch on a sporty car...they do NOT belong together, period.
It has to do with the precision when making the shift. A soft clutch makes it much more difficult to make precise shifts. Again, I am by far not the only one here who has said this since the cars release, or in regards to any car with a soft clutch that isn't a Corolla with 140HP.
My RSX doesn't have a monster feeling clutch, but when compared to the new Civic and tC, it is significantly more stiff feeling, but still is soft compared to something like a Ferrari or Lamborghini...or a Mack truck. I've never said my RSX was stiff, only stiffer. There is a difference.
The tC and Civic have mushy clutches now and I find it pathetic. That doesn't equate to being manly at all. Stop being a **** just because people disagree with you.

Lastly, I haven't even tried the FR-S/BRZ clutch yet, I'm just going by what everyone else has said, which is that it is very soft. I think most people would find the RSX clutch soft too, until you get into a tC or new Civic...then you realize it isn't that soft afterall, OR the tC/Civic is overly soft. RSX = manly clutch? Not a chance! But tC/Civic is worlds away.
