Just like the title says. Im about to hit 29k miles and im still on the factory clutch. A lot of my miles are highway miles.
I dont really "rag" on my car but i dont really completely baby it. Every now and then I like to gun it or throw down a race or two from a roll.

Wondering how much longer I can make it last.

i have an 06 coupe btw.

My 98 has 121,000 miles on it. Drag racers are the ones that burn through clutches. Normal driving and road racing won't kill it prematurely.

This guy is just the exception, not the rule. He has a magic clutch................ :D

I have replaced 4 so far all with 33K-38K miles.

My Sapphire GTS had a new stock clutch installed at 20,000mi. I tried to launch in 2nd at an AutoX in Detroit. Clutch seems fine, except that it doesn't fishtaail going into 3rd gear with the PS2s. Bought a cf clutch from JonB before Xmas. I have 50,000mi. on my Sapphire 10# roe car.
