On a road course? Absolutely. The drag strip is where they tend to fail due to the hard launches and hard shifting, which aren't present in road racing.

The road racers use the 10 bolt because it's light and don't lose HP as with the bigger rears, I track day mine and have never had any problems. 400RWHP and using Nitto NT-05 w/315/35's
