Not at all. When the 10 bolt breaks, you go nowhere.

Like the others said, it will cost you some weight and extra drag. However, if you want to increase your power significantly and run sticky tires, it's the only way to keep the car reliable--especially with an M6. If you don't do it, you'd better not run sticky tires or have AAA.

AAA will come to a dragstrip and pick you up too. I speak from experience. I'm just thankful the dragstrip personel let the tow truck driver in the gate without paying
