I'm not a bit knowledgable on Manual cars since I've never owned one.. (Sadly) but a kid in my Auto class says that you hardly ever burn out a clutch .. now I always read about bad clutches and all that crap from New and Old cars all the time, I could see if it's a truck or a civic you drive to work, but in the case of a Sports Car you take to the track and drive aggressively would you not burn out your clutch alot faster?

 

Yes,you would burn up your clutch a lot faster if you race your car,pulling hole shots,speed shifting etc,I know,I burned up one in a '71 Vette I used to own once I started thrashing it a bit.On the other hand I know peolpe who have gotten over 100,000 mi on a clutch that drive "normally"

 

i've got nearly 40,000 miles on my stock clutch...and i learned how to drive a stick on this clutch too. its basically fine, i don't beat on it that bad though.
