Default who put the most miles on their factory clutch?

what year model, how many miles, and mostly city or highway miles?

mines a 99 T/A, 95,000 miles on factory clutch. if i dont do something soon my clutch is going to leave me stranded. i did rack up a lot of highway miles. im sure i never would have made 95,000 city miles on stock clutch. needless to say i dont race very often.

2000 Z28 here, 75K more city than hwy. After having the pedal stick to the floor during my 1st trip to the track, I learned to launch without slipping that weak sucker. I did end up with a 1.75 60' on a 12.69 run with about 60K+ on that thing though. I now have a Cartek setup in there, it's damned close to perfection!

56k miles before it started slipping. 15k of those miles were with around 440 crank hp.

I've got 85,000 on mine and I sure as hell don't baby it. I expect it's not gonna hold up much longer. Then I get to upgrade to the z06 clutch

106,300k on mine so far, with approx. 30 track passes. Still grabs for the most part when I granny-shift but anytime I don't let it fully engage, it slips like I don't know what.

Getting a new clutch in a couple of months. Can't stand going to the track and running 7.9-8.2ish MPHs(85-86), but running 8.83 because my tires/clutch won't keep up.
