How do people burn out their clutch on these cars? I have been well over stock or even stage 2 since 10k miles. 68.5k miles on the clock and still ticking.

When you get the new clutch in, be careful during break in. Go with the GM upgrade clutch, it's very nice nad not going to break the bank

cats removed
SLP loudmouth exhaust
CAI

i dont think that this should have that mutch affect on the clutch but please correct me if im wrong, i do drive pretty hard on the clutch with high shifts but didnt think that could cut the life of the clutch so bad.

So aside from that i need help with purchasing a new clutch im not sure if i should purchase the stock or if that will just eat it again, and if not what would be some good aftermarket clutch to look into

thank you for your time
Keep phrase above "I do drive pretty hard"

Less clutch riding, showing off, and more driving!

Mine went at 21K, and I purchased the car with 12K on it. Don't think the clutches are up to par as far as quality is concerned.

i took my OE replacement clutch to the track the same day i got the car back lol. its still in the car, has been thoroughly roasted twice now, and is more than adequate 30k miles later. the stocker came out at 67k because i was replacing the trans anyways, i kept it because it still looks fine, as did the flywheel

Depends on your goals for the car...if its your daily driver then i would stay with the stock one, if your going for lots of mods (racing) then After market would be your answer.

My clutch went out at 22.5 so I'm not surprised at all. Don't replace it with a new stock clutch, waste of time. I'd go for at least a Spec Stage 2+ from TTR, or maybe an Exedy if you can afford it.
