Question Stock clutch life?

I was wondering how many EVO's out there are running their stock clutches? If you are, how many miles do you have, how hard are you on it, or maybe I should ask how many times have you been to the track? I have 16000+ miles with several times at the track and it still seems fine?

I got about 3k out of my stock clutch before it went belly up. I have about 7k on this clutch with no problems.

Damn 42,000? Good for you! We didn't pay big bucks to have these cars sitting in a garage all the time. I guess if you drive your car properly, you can use the stock clutch for a while and still have fun when you want. Tear it up people!

i have 22k and mitsu gave me an estimate on how much life was left while they were building my new engine. About 8k left on their guess for a total life of 30,000. and that's on city driving.
