Default Clutch?

Hey guys this maybe a dumb question so sorry in advance, but i drive my z every day about 10-20 mi. a day and take it to the track once every 3 months, im not a crazy driver and i rarely put the pedal to the metal, so i was wondering how long our clutch should last? Thanks guys

Depends on your driving habits. My last Manual Z. The Clutch lasted 45k

track days as in drags? You will need one soon... if you mean a real race track and you shift properly - i dont see why it wouldnt last 40k

a replacement clutch really isnt all that much, If you keep it up at that rate, i'd concur with what everyone else said, the clutch in my G had 80k on it when I traded it in for my Z, still worked like a champ.

May sound silly, but, do you "ride" the clutch? Just by avoiding that bad habit you can squeeze a couple extra thou' miles from it. Good luck.
