My 1998 WS6 lasted 55, 300.
My 2001 WS6 lasted 54, 616.
It also completely depends on what you have on your car as far as aftermarket parts, and how much stress the clutch is under.

I've got about 50k on my replacement LS6 clutch with probably 200 passes on BFG DR's leaving between 4000 and 6200 rpm and its still going strong, the hydraulics on the other hand have started acting up on me a little.

I've got 64k on mine so far, and its still going (that's with bolt-ones/cam/spray). It's starting to slip now though, the torque from the nitrous was a bit too much for it, so I haven't been using the spray lately until I can afford to upgrade.

106k on my stock 98 clutch with stock hydraulics. As long as you granny shift and allow a little bit of time between shifts, it still grabs, but any kind of quick shift makes it slip horrifically. It's gettin' replaced over the winter.

Stock clutch lasted 75,000 miles. BUT, when it failed, it wasn't the clutch disk itself, it was the Hydraulics. Clutch disk still had plenty of meat left.
No way it could handle the power, though. try to do a burn-out, clutch would slip insted of tires burning.
Wish my Spec stg. 2 would have lasted like the stock POS, mileage-wise

First one lasted maybe 5k second one about 1k after that. 3rd one about 2k after that (I had to take it easy for awhile). This last one lasted 16k its a cartech and has handled alot of abuse, but it started to slip in 4th on the bottle so its time for a twin disk. Oh btw the first 3 went becuse of the bottle and not one of them looked like it was bad, I broke the ring that goes around the springs on the disk. I have a couple laying around and if you looked at them and didnt know anybetter you would they they were new.
