The whole "brakes are cheaper than clutches" things is just plain silly since both are wear items but the clutch should outlast the brakes by many times over if you don't abuse it.
For us older people we dont abuse it. But the majority of people who drive this car will abuse the clutch. I know I did when I was younger and stupid.

I went through 2 clutches on my 93 Mustang GT in 5 years.
