However since I'd probably be putting 15k / year on it and would want to keep it a long time, the oil temps getting that high during normal driving is somewhat troublesome.
I wanted to second this comment. I just test drove the 370z this past weekend. It is a very fun car to drive and is still my #1 pick for my new car. However, I really want to have some piece of mind that while I own this car in Florida, that the temps are not going to be an issue.

I'm currently going through cooling system problems on my current ride. Don't want to buy a $30,000+ sports car that constantly runs on the hot side!

Hope Nissan does something about this.

Just curious, but can I not have the dealership put a cooler on or no new car sale? Is that not really an option, even in these hard economic times???
