So I was at a stop light this morning when a guy in a 370Z pulled up to me. He rolled down his window and looked over at me, his face bright red and dripping with sweat, and asked, "hey, is that 5.0 easy to drive?" 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.

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.

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 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!
