I wouldn't worry to much, there are plenty of other people in my same position too.

I achieve most of the nevers on 6spd's list...

No oil burning
No ECU whine
No rattles
No brake issues

I have never hit 265° but 240 ~ 260 is just two minutes of 2,3rd gear twisties away. Oh and once it hits 240 when I am driving to and from work it does not go back down below that even when cruising at 65 in 6th gear. I will be installing an oil cooler, am just waiting to make sure that the beast does not start any oil consumption.

There are also a lot of people in my position also. But it is a minor niggle that is easily cured with an oil cooler.

Its a great car, its a sports car, noting created by man is perfect, but this car comes close when it is not running hot.
