It actually feels just as light as the Z. I thought it'd be heavier but not at all.

How do you like the pressure plate in the 5.0? its gotta be a lot heavier than the Z... I remember my bullitt mustang had a killer pressure plate!!! it was insane to drive on a daily basis then again I did mod the hell out of it. :hello:

If you had the 265bhp Bullitt, it was a completely different transmission/clutch/everything than the 05+mustangs. Cable vs. Hydraulic.

With hydraulic, you have a whole 'nother set of issues, but they are certainly "easy" to press.

Yeah, the clutch in my '03 was a bit stiffer.

That's what she said?

i will reiterate. people have to adapt to the car. simple as that. if it's the only MT you've ever driven and you're used to it, i'm pretty sure you're gonna find it easy. the key is to listen and feel the car and adjust your driving to car, b/c the car isn't going to just suddenly change for you (Without modifications). If you are a really good shot with a pistol, do you pick up an m16 and say 'ok well this is how i shoot a pistol and i'm good at that' hell no. so why would you do the same with a car. if you buy a mac and are used to using a PC, do you sit there waiting for a start menu to magically appear or do you use the icons on the bottom of the screen to launch programs? i for one, when i want to close a program on a mac prefer to click the upper right hand corner of the window repeatedly in hopes that the buttons (Which are on the top left) will magically move to wear i'm clicking and close the program.

Yeah I had the '01 model and did a bunch of work on the motor... got it up to about 398~400bhp spent a crap load of money on it then some work van ran a redlight off the interstate ramp and tboned me... he was doing 70+ mph to make the light and destroyed the mustang!!! I still have a picture of it beside my bed lol it was my baby!!! I washed that thing like 3 times a week... it was soo clean!

SOOOO TRUE!!! :roflpuke2::roflpuke2: I have owned macs from pc for several years now and i find myself switching the two. One thing I did notice for new drivers to the 370z is that they need to drag the clutch more than other cars... I used to be in a s2000 club and I let them drive the Z when I first got it lol they all stalled it out several times. even after being told to drag the clutch a little. it takes a lil time to get used to the clutch feel but once you have it its one of the easiest and lightest clutches out there :tup:

He was running out of breath and I thought he was about to pass out. "Are you OK?" I asked.

"Yes--" weezing like an asthmatic child in gym class he answered, "this car is just... so hard to drive."

And that, folks, is why I sold my 370Z.

or get a AT Z :tup:

m4a1mustang 12-20-2010 12:51 PM
