I'm open to being corrected on this one (and I don't know if the TT is different), but two 996 C4S's I'm familiar with (as well as a 2007 Cayman S) have the clutches engaging much, much higher than the above quote of "....fairly close to the floor."
This has always been an irritation for me, as all of my other manual shift cars have the clutch start to engage about 2" coming up off of the floor.
One other thought: I've concluded from the above personal experience as well as numerous other posts on Pelican, Rennlist, etc. that these clutches do not communicate very well to your left foot when/as the clutch is starting to engage. Until you get used to it and have learned to compensate, you risk the embarrassment of stalling as you're trying to get moving in 1st gear.
