Completely agree with what was said about the oil issues and the absolute NEED for better tires. I recommend to anyone I meet with a stock car to bump up to MPSS tires when they get a chance if they aren't going for a track car.

I've gotten oil temps in the mid 230 range just doing a quick 1 minute blitz through a short pass back and forth on a 70 degree night. Hell, just last night I did the same pass in the same temperature and it got to 225 with a hair longer wait between running it back.

I sit in traffic in the 205-210 range on a 90 degree day and I toy with the AC to get the coolant temps back to the 190 area and that sheds some oil heat too. Ideally this car would have come with the factory oil cooling option and a slightly thicker radiator to compensate for the added heat from the oil.

Porsche designs their cars to run at the track. They are opening (or already opened; haven't kept track of this) a Porsche driving school just down the freeway from me. Bone stock cars with factory fills being pushed by teachers and students. It's just how they do business and keep a pedigree like theirs.

My car already matches my EvoX when it comes to cornering speed and surpasses feel and all I've done are wheels and tires.

I do lust after the new Cayman though. Hell of a looker
