If changing gears at 6000 or 7000 a lot of the times the car is driven , will this wear out the clutch? Its my Sunday drive for Mt twisty roads and track days car,so when I use it I go have fun with it, will this type of driving be bad for the clutch?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It depends on how you do the changing, if you slip the clutch they yes higher rpms will make it wear out faster, if you don't slip the clutch then no, the rpms will have only a small effect over the lifetime of the clutch. I inspected my clutch recently and at over 18,000 miles it looked brand new, but I don't slip or dump or abuse my clutch. I do shift at high rpms though when on track, etc.
not slipping the clutch. Just driving hard the CS. Lots of fun!! took one of my motorcycle friends on the twisties and it was raining, and he admited he couldnt go as fast on his bike as the Cayman S in the turns even if it was dry.
True. Motorcycles can not corner as fast as a car.
But they can accelerate faster.
Can you elaborate on "slipping the clutch". Does that mean not pressing on the clutch pedal all the way when shifting gears?
Slipping the clutch ,as accelerating with partially depressing the clutch
