Why would it? Theres a couple reasons I can offer not to put it in a street car. Your oil might see more abuse in 1 hot day of driving than mine would in 4 or 5 races. Another reason not to run that thin of oil is that it will find every possible place to leak. If you have a drip or 2 now with 10w30, you will have huge spots with the thin stuff. Also, its 8 bucks a quart.
