I just rolled 150K miles and I am STILL on the stock clutch. This thing won't die. How about a big round of clap to

It's totally plausible. I have 76k on my stock clutch and i'm making over 450whp currently and it's holding just fine. I've also got 30 or so 1/4 mile passes on it and countless hard launches. I know at my power levels, it's only a matter of time, but if you keep power in the low 300whp range, which can easily be acheived on the stock turbo and you know how to drive, i think it's very likely you can make the stock clutch last.
BTW, the stock clutch is made my Exedy. Exedy is the OEM clutch manufacturer for a lot of platforms though.

Ya, it's pretty crazy. I was planning to replace it at about 90K with an Exedy or something (giving me an excuse to hit AMS again for some more goodies). But it has been holding on fine. I have hit the track a few times since then (road course) with no issues. The only key thing I possibly could point to is the fact that is has never been to a drag strip and I have only launched hard (smelly clutch) twice. Other than that I drive it pretty hard everyday.
