^ well thats the answer right there. You can expect a clutch to last along time driving like that everyday.

So bad stupid driver sums it up

which clearly shows that your dad knows how to drive better than your friend...but if hes launching trannies, he obviously doesnt know how to drive very well either

a tko 600 shouldn't break regardless of what u throw at it... is a t-5 rated at 300-350 ft lbs, can with stand a 10 sec. car then that tko of your dads should hold anything hanlon motor sports has the fastest tko mustang running low 9's... so your dad knows how to make a clutch last but not a tranny, and your friend needs to stop riding the clutch and his will last just as long...if my t-5hasn't broke and my clutch is fine after 2years and about 15-20 k miles of me beating the **** out of if then your dad and friend need to goto driving school... no offence intended
