And that is why the people with the day to day issues will be key to solving this issue. If one mentions track in their conversations with Nissan their listening level will be turned down if not off.

I agree, and anyone dealing with Nissan about this should be discussing their temps on the "road" under normal to spirited driving conditions. It is a sports car, and they would be crazy to assume people won't enjoy it for what it's intended for within the legal limits. Start talking "track" temps and you probably won't get a lot of support. Besides, there are enough of us here that have driven in 90 degree weather now that can support high temps from limited spirited driving. Two minutes of fun, not exceeding 5500 RPM, followed by bumper to bumper rush hour traffic and I hit 260...... not good. In July and August with any hard driving at all I bet it climbs higher.
