On the track yes... NOT on the interstate with slicks and skinnies like an idiot I know did WITH HIS DAUGHTER in the car!!!
 He then wanted one of us to follow him to hide the slicks from police. x 2

If you've never used slicks before you should put a thread up in the drag racing section for advice. Would hate to read that you broke an axle or killed your clutch.

With a stock M6 car all you're going to do is increase the chance of something breaking. With the sudden hook of a slick the shock to the drivetrain will be tremendous and you being all stock will most likely break a drivetrain part.
Use the stock tires. The little slipping that they do will be gentler on the drivetrain. |

do your bolt ons, address the suspension and axle issues...especially wheel hop. strengthen everything in rear then do slicks. thats if you would like to drive it home

You only live once.... I say do it. I really don't see stock power breaking anything with just slicks. Plus if you are stock then my guess is you have a full warranty. If it breaks you will only be out a tow job home.
It's a muscle car, not a prius. Go hard or go home.
