the oil temp issues are well documented. It is arguable if you need an oil cooler for daily street driving. Suck it up and get an oil cooler, the install is straightforward and its not that big of a deal, consider it a slight inconvenience.

Well hey, the z was only a hair away from first place (5.0). Not too bad considering the z only got a few laps due to the oil temp. But that's not what really hurt the z. The brakes were the reason we didn't get first (check the article).
So go get those SS brake lines and BETTER BRAKE FLUID!! As well as better pads when you need them.

It's pretty simple. Get an Oil Cooler if you track your car a lot. Otherwise don't worry about it unless you street race a lot. LOL (I hope you don't as you will have many more problems than a hot engine...)
