Doubtful. The 5th gen was setup the same way.

Not that I know of, no issues on the ones I've driven. An engagement point too low would make normal shifts harder to execute smoothly anyway...

Modern cars do have adjustable clutches - they use hydraulic master cylinders that automatically compensate as the clutch wears.

Agree. I put an LS7 clutch and flywheel in my LS1 GTO and the engagement ended up so low that it's was very hard to drive. After about a month, I pulled the trans again and put a shim under the slave cylinder to bring it to the proper engagement point.

Not sure if there are dimensional differences in that instance but when I measured everything after taking it out, it did need it.

Obviously the engagement point varies by each vehicle.
My '17 engages lower compared to my previous vehicles including an '08 Z51.
It did some getting used to.
I think I'd like it a little higher.

Clutches on cars haven't been adjustable since they all went hydraulic back in the 70s.

The Camaro clutch is a lot lower engagement point than the C7. That one felt like it was all the way at the top in the one I drove. In my car, it feels (key word, feels) closer to halfway. I'm sure it's like 3/4's or something.

Sporty cars have high engagement points.
