I may very well get over 100K miles out my stock clutch, but for the life of me I can't get 8K miles on a set of rear tires :driving:

I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car!

I thought my PSS rears would be toast by now. 11k on those and still good. Might even last through Zdayz. lol

one of 5 things u shouldnt do in a MT car is to not eat tacos while driving.

lettuce and shredded cheeze all over the place.. :ugh: not dat i would know.

:tup:

That's something you just shouldn't do in any car!

Amateur. The amount of Taco Hell eaten has given me the ability to juggle both soft and hard tacos while down shifting without rev matching and triple clutching.

I don't know how true it is, but a high end car salesman told me some rich guy that wasn't experienced driving a stick, bought a Ferrari back in the '80s, and blew out his clutch on his way home after purchasing the car. Maybe that's why modern Ferrari's have floppy paddle shifters.

i think those brands got sick and tired of non-car guys dat cant drive stick faking up acceleration times and losing to honda fits while merging lanes.

Yikes, I've been doing the #4 a bit....nice throaty burble when I'm in 6th at 2k RPM :D

I'm quite sure it is very true. Youtube videos all over the place to prove it too. The time to learn to drive stick is not on a $400k car. But hey. If they're rich enough to buy the car then they should have enough fir the $20k bill for clutch replacement.

Some paddle shifters still have clutches, but can work like an auto without the "clutch peddle".

I hold the car with the clutch hills all the time. Can't say I have ever had to replace a clutch "prematurely."

Generally speaking, unless it doesn't have a transmission, all cars have clutches. Autos have clutch packs. Manuals have your standard clutch. DCTs, DSGs, PDKs...etc have your automated dual clutch setup.
