I think not.
On the track in conjunction with other parts at high RPMS.
Maybe so.

The whole idea sounds like a marketing ploy from the aftermarket guys.
Hey,they got bills to pay,right?

For us everyday drivers---a deduct from the bank account.
My car drives better on the street and on the track thanks to the vents i currently have. Judging by your reply you probably don't know how hot 370z's get. That said, anything that can be done to reduce engine oil, transmission oil, radiator, air intake and coolant temps should be looked at because that heat drains your engines performance, cooks your fluids and will cause your ECU to engage limp mode. You will not be happy and your car will run like crap, unless you A. Drive like your wife has your pair in her purse. B. Add cooling mods. Guess which one I chose?
