I daily drive my 09 Z and do spirited runs a few times a week. Oil has never gone above 230 even in the dead heat of summer.

Oil cooler is an easy and decently inexpensive fix. Since it is a DD most users place a steel cover over the oil cooler to prevent it from operating, thus protecting the car from having "too cool" oil in the winter months.

Oil should not be a major concern stopping you from buying a Z. If its your biggest worry, you should have bought one already.

Good Luck.
