The "violating the law" thing is ridiculous and they should be called out on it. The most obvious counter is that track runs don't violate any laws, and that this car is very clearly targeted at a tracking crowd. But more to the point on the street: in a hot and humid climate, I don't think it would be too hard to get the oil temps up without violating speed limits. It's not like speed = oil heat. Constant cycles of hard accelerating and braking are going to heat the car up, which there are no traffic laws against.
