No oil temp problems at all -- dipped up about 1/4 past normal, but nowhere near "hot"
Was a nail-biter for me to run the car as hard as I did... I'm definitely not used to bumping off the rev limiter non-stop. Car performed like a champ though... only casualty was the (stock) brakes... completely toasted the rear pads and ran all the way home metal/metal. Just put on new rotors/pads in the rear, and she's good as new.

Yow, how did you do that?
I run 250+ oil temps on a cool day at the track, but I'm a tip.
Agree about the stock pads. I've toasted Hawk HP+ in the stock calipers, and now Cobalt VR's in the Stoptechs. Next pad is going to be the Performance Friction PF-01 and hope I don't chew up my rotors with the aggressive pad compound.

I would guess that is the explanation: Tip allroad, we are so screwed with an AT because the car
will also have to observe the heat from the Trans.
Usually you'll get about 6-8 laps before the temp reaches 250.....that's the time to leave the track....Yep, it sucks being a Tip-ar ;-)

Good call, 6 bucks at Autozone minus a discount ;-) The only way to keep the transmission cooler is
try out the solution that just went in my car; the aux. trans cooler/heat exchanger, it really does help to keep the transmission down on Temperature and it' an easy fix.
