Default how does the 2012 factory oil cooler stand up to track/auto x

I have a 2012 z...Did one auto x but the weather has been cool lately so I didn't go over 220 deg.

Does anyone have any clue how the factory oil cooler fares on the track? Anyone have first hand experience on the track with a 2012? Should I plan to install an air to air oil cooler regardless of the factory water-cooled oil cooler?

Is it possible to route the factory oil cooler lines to the front of the car so it can work as an air cooled system and then route through the stock water cooled lines as well? Or is this thinking illogical and not possible...

If I add an air cooled system, do I leave the stock alone and simply add on the air cooled setup?

Lastly, since stock oil cooler is water cooled, if I upgrade radiator, fans, shrouds, and run distilled water/water wetter...will this help lower oil temps since the factory system is water cooled? I'm thinking the cooler the water, the better it can cool the oil?

Thanks!
