The clutch depends on what you do with the car. If you just drive it on the street the stock clutch will work fine for years. I would not change a clutch until you start to have difficulty shifting. The ZL1 has a hydraulic clutch that shares fluid with the brakes, if you run the car on a road course the brakes will heat the fluid and it will need frequent bleeding or you will not have good disengagement and more wear. If you drag race the car with 700 whp it will eat the stock clutch in about 7 passes. Im on my 3rd clutch, I went from the stock to a ZR1 corvette unit to the Mantic one I have now and on last inspection it is showing significant wear. The drag racing with high horsepower is tough on the clutch.
