Well one owner did say he saw high oil temps and was worried considering that it wasn't even summer yet. He only saw it in the last session and it was around ~290 but the other sessions he was around 270.

I think he was at Laguna Seca but I'm sure since it was a couple weeks or so I read about his experience. But another owner was at Road Atlanta and didn't see the ~290 oil temp that the other owner was seeing and I believe the temps for both places were slightly above 50F.

We'll see how it fairs in the summer heat but so far....the car is doing outstanding.
