10+ track days in both a stock '09 Z and '12 loaded Z

My apologies if something like this is already out there.

(FLAME SUIT ON lol) If you have a '12 or newer you may not need an oil cooler as many people are making it sound as long as it is not FI obviously. I have done a lot of track days when its cooler out, ambient temp 70-80 degrees and my oil has never exceeded 240-ish. It may in the summer when ambient temps are over 100. '12+ have an "oil cooler" which doesn't do too much but I think its softens the edge a little bit. Until you start to learn the Z and drive the living sh!t out of it on the track you may be good without one for your first few days. The tracks I go to (autoclub, button willow, chuckwalla) I haven't really needed it and have been putting up some competitive times, usually mid pack out of all drivers that weekend. Anything earlier than '12 you may get away with 1 or 2 track days before hitting limp mode and discovering your Z (and your) comfort zones.
