So where would you want to act stupid?
Seriously though, I've heard law enforcement is cracking down on this behavior everywhere. I'm glad actually. Good to have some fun in the car but anything serious needs to be done at a track.
As for oil temps, I see 195-200 on a normal commute. With a lot of traffic on a warm day 210-220 is normal. Traffic in hot weather I can count on 220-230 degrees. Driving up in the mountains (spirited, by no means racing) 240 is easy to reach for my car but I haven't been above 250 degrees that I can remember.
I'm not terrbily worried about it. Piston powered airplanes are generally fine with oil temps at 220 degrees continuous and those are mostly air/oil cooled engines so there is a higher degree of concern for oil temps.
