Anyway this is just one instance, I know the Z is on the $hit list of almost every magazine out there because of the oil temps and brakes overheating....

True. But even with other pads there have been plenty of issues. Luckily brake ducting is not terribly expensive, just ugly.

i dont do any super tight turns though so i'd change the setup if i was going through cones by adding another 10mm offset in the front.

Just saying, if you've only hit 240 oil temps, it sounds like a more comfortable cruise, rather than testing the limits.
It's important to understand that ability to rotate under throttle doesn't really mean much in the way of implying balance, it's more a function of the power the car has. Guys like me want the car to pretty much drop all four wheels at once when it's getting no input, so we can manipulate it through the turn.
