Default Question on 2008 clutch

I have a 2008 ls3 436 3lt coupe m6. I read on the forum that my car has the same clutch as the zo6 model. Is this fact. I have no mods and bought it new in april 2008. Thank-you for any info

That is correct! I have 54k miles on my 2008 clutch and still running strong.

I've got 58k miles on my 08 M6 Z51 and was wondering what you guys think the correct estimate would be for replacing the clutch...

I realize its dependent on driver etc...but take a guess based on your driving style.

TIA

Worry about something else. It might go south and it might not. Mine lasted for quite a while behind 650 rwhp. It wasn't totally toast when I changed it either. A clutch isn't an area where you need to be in front of failure. Enjoy it while it lasts and fix it when it breaks.

Clutches wear out gradually, so that even if you are on a long trip, you will be able to get home fine. Worry about it when and if it wears out, not before.
