all I am saying is that for me personally, in South Florida where it is very hot at least six months of the year, I will not buy a 370Z unless I can get an oil cooler installed at purchase that does not affect the warranty.
The 2011 Mustang GT by the way will have over 400 HP.
The collected data is out-dated and therefor inaccurate. Some people did report "high" oil temps when the car was new but all of them no longer have issues once the car was properly broken-in. Also many people overreacted to what "high" is and we concerned for no reason.

I live in Houston and it's just as hot and humid as it is in florida and I have NEVER seen temps over 230 and 210 is the normal temperature even when autoxing.

If you track your car you will need a cooler otherwise it is NOT a problem.
