If your on the stock rear in an M6, it might be ok if your clutch blows up first (assuming it's stock). I would strongly recommend changing the rear and clutch before doing any type of hard launch. And they will not last long at all on the streets. If I had to guess, I would say 500 or so miles assuming they see regular drag use. Drag radials would probably be a better choice but you would still have to be easy with the launches if they hook up well.

What should I do for the rear? i have a hook up on 4.10s and install, around 220.00.

****!! I say **** the slicks! ill do a 12 bolt later.
