For me, skipping is like doing target practise with hard earned gold. It may make sense for the odd challenge. For instance, I was quite prepared to skip 7.5 if worse came to worse. I had PR 61.9 and had so far spent 168gc. Brakes were still at level 1, everything else was either 3 or 4. So the option was there; get the brakes to level 3 and hope for the best. But I scraped through in just under an hour.

Looking at your theory, the gold required to skip through stage 6 alone is more than I spent on upgrades that won the car. And those upgrades stay on the car. Mind you, 100% is meaningless to me, but good economics still matters.

The way I see it, if you're gonna spend gold, might as well put it on the car, and have some fun while you're at it.
