I live in NJ so we dont see temps quite as high as the south but it gets darn hot. It was in the high 90s for weeks this past summer. During that time I pushed my Z many times on the backroads. I never even came close to limp mode. I personally think its pretty hard to get it into limp mode on the street unless you are driving like a total azzhat. I can see how indexes of 130 could lead to it though I suppose.

Driving spiritedly on the backroads of central texas, Southern Appalachians, western New Mexico/east Arizona, and now west Texas; I have never reached limp mode. I've come close, but I've never had any need to slow down for it to cool off. I just change up a gear and keep going, problem solved.

Same here. I took my car to El Paso in the summer and while in DFW with record heat waves, no limp mode. Since I am going to track mine, I installed an oil cooler myself. Very easy.
