New Car and Driver review of the 370z... oil temp fail!

The first modification for me was an oil cooler. Without one I could barely make it home spiritedly.

Once i broke 5k miles and added a high quality synthetic... i can drive very spirited for close to 30 min before getting close to limp mode on hot days. On cooler days i can go much longer. a i think some of the oil temp issue is contributed to improper break-in, and poor choice of oil and premature flogging of the Z.
not saying all cases, but alot of them.
