Original clutch here at 103k. Yes I drive fast and don't baby it. I do however need a clutch in the coming months, since it's slipped a few times on hard starts. It seems that once it gets pretty hot that it'll sometimes slip when hitting second gear at high rpms and full throttle.

When it turned 100K, I made sure I was going 100mph - just for because.

btw are there S/C or TT packages for an N/A C2??? and if so how much do they cost and what are the performance gains in comparison to a stock 996 TT??

There's a couple S/C kits for the N/A Carreras, and they are around 12k installed (I think, but somewhere around there). They'll give performance similar to a stock TT. I think they have less torque, so they are slightly slower- but just slightly.

well I once did 160 in the VR4, but I think I was "only" at like 130k... now I'm sitting at 152k, only problem is I'll have to wait until July 1st b4 I can drive it again being that I'm 4k+ miles away from home until then 
either way, all these 100k stories keep me dreaming of the day soon that I get my own 996 and can tell ppl when I turn the clock at 100k myself!

I never had another occurence in mine since then, but I'm still gonna schedule a transmission service when I can find some time, and to just check out the transmission mounts as 911firehawk suggested.
