A Hydraulic clutch has been in the Mustang since 2005, but a DUAL MASS flywheel is now new for 2011.
They work so hard to loose weight on these cars but then go and add weight to the clutch assembly.
Got to try and lure in the import buyers I guess, because I'd bet not one die hard Mustang enthusiast would cry about a clutch NOT being "dual mass" !!

my problem with hydraulic clutches is the fear 
i have left over from my 88 Iroc i had when i was a teen.. i went through 6 clutches in 2.5 years.. and only put 40k on the car.. even replaced the entire hydaulic assembly thing still burned through centerforce2 clutches like butter ( please dont start a flame war about not knowing how to drive or shift that wasnt the issue, car was stock at the time), in fact my friend and i got so good at replacing the clutch.. i could jack the car up and 60 min later i was driving it out of the garage, put the same clutch in my 95GT had no issues with it over 60k miles.
