I'm just past 30k but I think it's starting to slip. Gonna order a replacement today but I'm curious if anyone has gotten more miles on theirs. My car is a daily driver- no racing of any sort- so it's been treated to a fairly gentle life.

From what I have read it varies, especially depending upon driving style. That said, 30k is pretty good.
I changed the stock unit in my 2008 at 15k miles when I upgraded the blower and there was not much material left on the disks and the bell housing was full of black clutch soot.
I suspect I did not have more than a few thousand miles left even though min had a pretty easy life also.
I've noted the black soot almost from day one when I purchased the car w/3200 miles on the odo. Other than the traditional chatter associated w/the OEM set up, I haven't had any other issues w/this clutch but again, it's my daily driver so I'm not using & abusing it like some folks do.

From what I have read these stock units really do not like being slipped. Once you get the hang of them being more abrupt rather than gradual engagement I think it helps it last longer.
In some cases I think they are up to the strip abuse unless it's slipped in traffic or something.
Driving style and city vs highway driving will make a huge impact on clutch life.
My 08 has 30,000 miles on the factory clutch and its holding just fine. Car has been stock for its entire life though
Made it to 27k before it started slipping bad enough to be replaced. Replaced it with the RXT and while it's a big improvement, it still chatters like a mf.
Stock '07 clutch was gone at 17k. TSB issue. Replaced it with a Ram twin. Nearly 60k miles on the Ram and its started to slip a little. Will be replacing it with a McCleod after the holidays.
With just a pulley, intake, and tune and high performance street, road course, auto-cross, and drag race driving conditions, I got around 22,500 miles before it started to slip bad. The first indication that it was going out was full 4th gear pulls shifting into 5th clutch would slip a little. It gave up completely while drag racing and shifting into 4th gear... pretty much toast after that. Chuck @ Evolution said that the clutch discs and flywheel didn't look all that bad, but it would not hold clamping force. I replaced it with a Spec SS and have had no issues since and even turned the power up with a Whipple S/C. If you want your stock clutch to last, don't slip it and disable traction control during spirited driving... let your tires take the abuse instead of your clutch.
I beat my stock clutch pretty hard. 30k miles, multiple drag passes, road course, all at 550+rwhp. Started slipping and got replaced.
There was even at TSB for this clutch, but never used it. I think it did just fine.
Treat it weak and it will be weak.
I had my stock clutch for probably 12 k miles..... 9k of wich were over 650-750 rwhp..... and a handful of 10 second passes. Thing tool a beating every time I drove it.
Not trying to hijack - but is the life-span suppose to be different than other years? My 2011 seems great - 20k OEM power and about 13K on current setup = 33K total
