At this point there is no cooler, and the 2010 has no cooler. Someone posted a pic of the 2010 Nismo, and a cooler was spoted behind the grill. That led to speculation, will the 2010 Nismo have a cooler? Was that just there for the magazines to test drive, as the early cars for 2009 had for the journalists? Who knows at this point.

I love my Z. If I lived in Florida and tracked/auto crossed the car, I would buy one and add an aftermarket cooler, problem solved. I live in SC, and it gets very hot here in the summer. Next spring, I will probably add a cooler and I don't track my car. I never hit limp mode, but I can hit 250 degrees with spirited driving and stop and go traffic. I will feel more comfortable with the longevity of the engine if I add one. I would not let this stop you from buying the car, it is a great machine!
