I see 240+ oil temps routinely just driving on the highway in the summer heat here in Texas (80+ mph speed limits). But with an oil cooler, I would expect to have some difficulty warming up the car on my short, daily drive into the office even during the summer.
Keeping the Z cool is a difficult proposition when driving hard. I've got a 34 row oil cooler waiting in the garage for when the Z is no longer my daily (hopefully this year). But for a daily driver, I just didn't see the need. And frankly, reaching higher temps quickly is good incentive to back off after some brief fun on public roads - better to keep the serious driving for a closed course.
