Upgrading for the track is different than maintenance, but money is still money. An oil cooler is what you need on earlier models for sustained spirited drives. From my experience

Well I don't go to the track, just drive fast sometimes and love taking sharp corners with speed. Another question I forgot to ask is do the oil coolers fix the problem completely? Also do they ever over cool the oil because I know that is just as bad

I daily drive my 09 Z and do spirited runs a few times a week. Oil has never gone above 230 even in the dead heat of summer.
Oil cooler is an easy and decently inexpensive fix. Since it is a DD most users place a steel cover over the oil cooler to prevent it from operating, thus protecting the car from having "too cool" oil in the winter months. Oil should not be a major concern stopping you from buying a Z. If its your biggest worry, you should have bought one already. Good Luck.
