Picked up my 03 on 6/30/03 and fixing to turn over 20k.
Stock clutch still going strong.
One lunch hour lapping session, one all day lapping session and numerous autocrosses.

factory clutch, with 85K miles on it. I don't launch it but I get it moving quickly and then beat the **** out of it on these back woods WV mountain roads! 
Simply put...I drive it like a rally car not a mustang on a local strip!
