just conservatively driving around on the street in 85-90 degrees ambient, my oil temp. goes up to b/t 220-230. with only 270 miles on the engine, i'm trying to be kind to the engine and not rev it past 5000 rpm.
If I remember correctly, it's 280 degress. I would HIGHLY suggest you to get the oil cooler before hitting the track. The last thing you want to do on track is embarrass yourself. Also, it's preferable to go to track after 1000 miles (even though some of our members tracked their Z very early and had no problems what so ever).
