Well, the thing is, with a Z, it doesn't really heat up that much at low revs. If you're driving around and shifting at 3.5-4k, it is going to settle at a very reasonable temp. The red-line on these cars is 7.5k, and the car is very noisy when you approach that limit.
In the cabin.
It is screaming at you, in an unsettling way if you are not used to it. I seriously doubt most people would drive it that way. I have my shift light at 5.5k, and the car is roaring at that point, and I am usually pretty happy to shift. I mean, 2nd gear will go to 60mph, and 3rd will take you to 90mph, but you want to hear the car yowling to do it. Most of the time you will probably be doing 3 to 5, and the engine will never get hot.
