Well, I was probably a little hard on the Sentra since it was my first manual.
The Accords, I'd still "launch" occasionally, but I never autocrossed/tracked/or drag-raced them.
Of course, all of these cars had belonged to my parents for the first 40-120K miles of their lives, so they had it pretty easy till then.

I'm sure the Porsche has much more aggressive friction material to hold the extra torque, etc. But I'll still be disappointed if I have to replace the clutch any time before 100K miles. I guess only time will tell, but I was hoping to hear more people chime in and give their long-clutch-life experiences.
