Nothing wrong with playing 6 players other than first board will be pretty crowded with everything on there (pick the side with more road spaces to give people a chance to get out further and spread the field just a little). The only other issue really is that the game goes longer. The designers probably felt the sweet spot was under 90 minutes or so.
Yes, it totally extends the playtime - I did another six player game the other night, and it was 2hrs 22mins. It was great fun, and we had lots of chat between turns. Def not an experience if you want to have a fast game, but really enjoyable if you want the social experience.

We've played one game at 6 players and it was chaotic awesomeness. Didn't even make it off the third board before someone was eliminated.
Same on both my six player attempts - and on the last game, we had the elimination on the turn someone won the game (so no one was left sitting around waiting for the game to end).
There were some very entertaining collisions during the game - someone shot another player, which caused shrapnel that hit the shooting player, causing them to skid into the Big Rig and collide with it (twice) before landing on the car they initially shot, losing the subsequent collision and falling off the road.
I love this game!
