I guess your expectations are higher than mine as far as the stock car, I wouldn't expect my brakes to stand up to repeated 130 - 0 stops or the stock cooling to support running wide open and near redline for extended periods.

I guess what I'm saying is, don't roll your eyes at me when I talk about only needing an oil cooler "on the track" when you're treating your lovely Texas back-roads like they are one.

I think I have very reasonable expectations. I don't expect my car to last more than a few miles when I drive it that hard. I wasn't surprised that I hit 260F yesterday; it was completely expected, and I backed off when needed. I thought I was pretty clear, that I didn't think an extra cooler was necessary for DD or cruising

I've had my Z on the track once. It did better than I expected, frankly. But I knew it couldn't handle it, so I didn't push it. I pulled off early to let her cool down rather than pushing it to limp mode - I made it through 2x 3-lap sessions. Aggressive street driving for me is typically a few minutes or even just a few pulls on certain routes. Nothing sustained. Once it is no longer my DD, I will get an oil cooler and get it on the track for some real
