RE: how long has your clutch lasted?
My stock one lasted 16k miles. I don't beat on my car at all on the street. I actually get made fun of because I drive it slow. I brought it to the track probably about 5 times and that was about 4-5 runs per night. So I would say 16k miles and 20-25 passes at the track. It blew at the track. The clutch was completed screwed.

42k and it's just like what's mentioned above, made fun for not drivin it hard at all, except the occasional dumps off the line at the strip...maybe 10 times total. Clutch shat on me as I was snagged 2nd.

75K and starting to act up a little. I drive it normal, not hard, not like a grandpa, and have never taken it to the track. The people at my local perf shop told me this is the normal time from their experience, but they said there are many that make it much beyond that.
