Re: Maserati GTS V Audi R8 V8
not even pushing it yet. I do hooligan smoke out launches, go for every BMWSG + even VAGSG track days, whack north south highways in numerous driving trips, and when the clutch was dismounted after 80000km of hard usage, mike at Keng Tiong said there's still 20-25% material left. So, my belief is that if you know how to drive the car properly on a day to day basis, you can really really stretch the clutch life, as with the ferraris and lambos too.
In fact when I first took over the car at the 40k mark, the clutch was slipping at the 6th gear even. I thought Hong Kan, I needed to change it immediately, but with proper clutch engagement over a couple of weeks, it was naturally deglazed, and I stretched it for another 40k before having to change out prematurely coz the $100 bearing was making squeaky noises. (So a $4k job to change a $100 item).
