I have 3100 miles on a 2012 z and just a 50 mile trip on a hot summer day is bringing temps to 230-240 casual driving.. Basically no way is this going to be a car you push without at least 1500-2000 in mods. Already paying 35-40k for the car. It's a niche car, not a smart buy for most people.

I love the car though don't get me wrong, looks are very very important and not many can top the 370z looks.
What kind of driving are you doing? This summer wwhen Chicago had 105/110 days I Would drive for an hour mixed highway and off highway and would never see the temps past 225 on my 2010. The only Time it goes to 240/250 is when doing prolonged spirited runs holding Rpm past 5k

It's been well established that there is a wide variance in the operating temps for different z's. I've seen some run hot, and some run cool...likely due to natural variation within tolerances

That is wierd. I have never heard of this, nor know of anyone with a Z that runs substantially cooler or hotter than the rest of us.

When my Z says it's running a temperature, I break out the anal thermometer just to be sure.
