Most oils can handle up to 300 (on paper, anyway) but I'm not sure where it starts being a problem for the engine.

Yea I've pushed her and she's gone as high as 260 but from what I've read, these cars go into limp mode around 280. Plus that kind of heat obviously affects the engine and the overall lifespan.
