I think what Jose meant was that it happens if you don't know how to drive to avoid limp mode... you just have to take it a little easier and try to let the car rest at lower revs where you can. On the street it doesn't mean you can't have fun, it just means you can't drive at 10/10ths for an extended period without the oil cooler.

At ZDayZ 2010 I got it up to 250-260 degrees and that included hitting 2nd gear in a few of the hair pins. I didn't maintain consistently high-revs or flog the car on the straights, though. I would hit 4th or even 5th on some of the longer stretches to keep the engine as cool as I could and that worked fine.
