I've wondered the same thing, but it is all going to depend on how much you beat on it. Clutches wear the most when you are starting out from a stop. It will depend on how much you slip it. Now, if you are at the drag strip, it is going to depend on how high your clutch dumps are. A few good 6k dumps and I'm sure it will have greatly decreased the life of it.

I'm hoping my Ram Powergrip holds up for a good while in my DD.

I got about 15k out of it. Going to the track about 20 times. Have a 3f on the way.
