Yep, I had almost 30k miles on my evo with over 430whp..on stock clutch. I bought the car brand new at 8 miles 
Evo was sold a few weeks ago, who knows if the clutch is still goin.

i put 3,xxxmi on my stocker and launched it 2 times it slipped really bad and i asked my other freind with an 05 if i was doing it right and he rode with me and he said that his never did that and it would also make like a grinding noise when i launched it so i got a diff clutch
