After checking the archives on clutch life I became curious about this topic. So let's here it .... who has accumulated the most miles on an original clutch?

I don't have a mileage for you but, the original clutch outlasted two transmissions and one engine (All warranty work). There was still friction material on the clutch, but I thought it was time for a change. Try to beat that one.

70,000+ miles! Wow. That is better than my daily driver (Nissan Sentra). Vipers are built like battleships.

My theory .... the technology used to make the Viper capable of winning a 24-hour race (Le Mans) is transferred to the production cars. I know this may be an obvious point but it is reassuring to know that the car is so reliable. Keep up the good work Dodge!

Stock clutch was changed to a Kevlar dito after 16.000 miles, then the story begins, 12.8 miles...had to change, 11.5 miles had to change once again...I do seriously need a better clutch solution for my driving...HELP!
(First change after 20 rounds and next after 18 runds on the dragstrip)
