I was under the impressions that these cars could be driven hard - not abused - but at least driven hard.
hmmm.......a "fried" clutch, to me, is one that has been warn down to almost nothing or "overheated" ..... usually caused by the clutch being out of adjustment or riding the clutch or pulling a trailer or it was just plain old. Also, intentially slipping a clutch can take a toll.

Your canyon carving or a day at the track shouldn't wear out a clutch on the FR-S (non-boosted).
