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!

250 degrees with just spirted driving is pretty high, and with some track temps here reaching into the 90's the size of the oil cooler would prob have to be massive to cope with the added temps.

Has any of the aftermarket guys come up with a larger oil pan that dissipates heat better then stock ?
