I don't really know if 250* is really that abnormal for this engine. As per the manual, once it hits 280*, you should stop driving like an ***. Other than that, I think it is fine. I take my Z on country back roads, and drive lively. None the less, I constantly see the temps climb to 240-250 range, but it doesn't go above it. Needless to say, you should also be checking your oil consumption, as I have noticed that the Z loves to burn oil!

 Same exact temps for me. 250 is higher than they wanted engines to run yaers ago. Other than the newer metalurgy used in the "green" bearings causing problems at lower temps than in the past, no one has actually given a definitive "yes, 250 for extended periods is ok" answer.
