No different than 100 plus launches at the track and making over 380 Ft Lbs. of Tq. to the wheels. Like that, the stock clutch lasted 26,000 miles.
It is the way that you use it. If you slip it alot, the clutch will glase and it is done. There is plenty of material there, just gets slick as ice when it glases.

Ever done over 50+ launches on a stock clutch?
So i was right, it is the drivers fault, in this case you for being careless and launching the car over and over again without letting it cool down, thats just dumb.. And yes i have known ppl that have burned the clutch at 5k or less miles with the car being still COMPLETELY STOCK!! Drivers kill clutches that quick.. For those that know me here and known me for years, they know that i drive the **** out all the Evos ive owned, i drive them like if they were stolen and my clutches still hold up
Poor driving... I don't care who you are, but people who continually launch their car over and over and over again without letting the car cool off will have a quick clutch burn out. Not only that, but making more then stock power will help that clutch go out faster! Hell, I never smelled my clutch before until I road in someone elses car, so don't go out on a limb and say that a stock clutch will only go out to poor driving because for anyone who knows me knows I run my car hard.... EXTREMELY hard compared to most people!

You don't have to slip it to get good 60 fts. My best 60 fts were on the stock clutch.
My stock one lasted me 26 thousand miles, and my car was making alot of power. More than most of you are making now.
It held over 100 track launches, and several street launches, racing SRT-4s,
. Power plays a part, but not the main factor.Scott also was making alot of power, and he too made 100 plus track passes on his stock one before it went out. As Miguel, and others.
Abuse is what kills them. You guys get to excited and slip the heck out of them,
.I stage the car and up the clutch pedal until it is about to engage, and I keep the revs up there. As soon as I get ready to go, I let the clutch pedal go.
People bog because they don't give the car enough revs, and they pop the transfer case because they don't prep the pedal and pop it from all the way down on the floor, and shock the Drivetrain that way.
I can do this all day,

All my launches where done at the track where and the last day I went to the track i ran 9 times back to back with not more than 20min in between racing. So all and all I did about 35 passes at the track and about 5 on the street. So does that makes me a bad driver?? I know for sure the power level on the car has a lot to do with it going fast.
