The Genesis coupe needs an oil cooler if you are going to track it hard. The oil temps easily climb towards 300 degrees, the main difference ... the car has no oil temp programmed limp mode - neither did the 350Z where oil temps could also hit 300 degrees on the HR engines.

If you put a oil temp gauge and a programmed limp mode of 280* then hit the track most to all cars would go into limp mode like the 370.

Not after a couple laps...

A stock s2000 will chill below 240 or so after a day on the track.
