Heavy Clutch and value add items

[myeboxsters]

I thought the clutch in my 2001 S was heavy when I first bought it (June 06, 46,000 miles) but now I'm used to it. (My previous stick shift was an 01 Audi TT quattro with the 225 hp engine. That had a pretty light clutch.) A few months ago, I drove a friend's Viper (2000, ACR) and that has a much heavier clutch than the Boxster. (And extremely poor feel from the gearbox, IMHO.)
