not doubting good things come from it. But when you compare what ford has (in your reference), which they found to work for what they wanted, versus spending time/money developing something better... that perhaps might have given the GTR a better edge? hypothetically there are thousands if not millions of scenario's to wonder about

Convenience is the thing though and big companies will always look after their pocket books first especially if they know the consumers will simply just sit back and take it.

Either way this is running very off topic.

If OP wants peace of mind, get a 19 or 25 row with a thermostatic plate. Even if you dont track it but plan to "enjoy" the car. Some people in our mountain run in 68-72 degree weather were hitting 260+. At the same time, a NISMO that tracked their car without the oil cooler didnt hit limp mode on a very hot track day. Every car, every day, every location is different and only you can judge what will be best for your situations, unless one of us is your twin and follows you around everyday
