A fellow has just posted on RennTech about turning 300,000 miles in his 996T. He says he is still on the ORIGINAL CLUTCH!! I was gobsmacked.

Missed that bit tracked 6-10 times a year and 300k miles - wow
 
Pretty impressive stuff though. Those pistons have been up and down a few times to reach that mileage! What's the highest mileage 996t we have in this country? Perhaps we could do a dated poll?
 
Richard, thought my diesel Astra was doing well with original clutch at 155k.....

As a former PSV (PCV) driver, we were 'taught', vehicle sympathy but that it some accomplishment!

Unbelievable.....
