I've had my dads both C5Z and C6Z overheat couple of times on me.

I fully agree with what you said.
However, I am still worried since we are in winter and overheating after a lap might impact all the non pro driver that we are in summer time. What will happen when simply stock in traffic jam or trying to have fun in a hot day?
Wait and see...

It's well known on the C5Z. I overheated both my engine oil and my transmission oil in my C5Z at VIR, running it bone-stock with tires, at a 2.07-2.08 lap pace. With a separate engine oil cooler, my oil still hit 275-280 degrees. My manual tranny would routinely throw an overtemp warning at ~276 degrees, but it usually took me ~20 minutes to get it there.

Dave, any specific reason why your using both ChrisN123 and DaveN007 to get this overheating point across? We all know that you are "The Most Interesting Man In The World Of Storage"

Before taking delivery of my new Z06, I asked my salesman to check if adding an aftermarket radiator and spacers between the supercharger and engine block would impact my warranty. I received an e-mail back from the head of the dealer's service department that installing those items would not impact the warranty so long as they did the install.
Hoping to see similar products available for this Z, that they solve the problem, and some indication adding them won't kill the GM warranty.

From an article I read, Mobil 1 was tested to start thermal breakdown at 265 degrees.

Well, 99% of the street cars in the world will overheat at the racetrack, be they American, European, or Asian. I've seen many cars running hot at Road Atlanta, Roebling, and Barber, of all makes. I had just hoped this car, at least in Z07 guise, would not overheat because this was a known issue with the C5 and C6 Zs and I had hoped Chevy would address it, like they have done with many other issues.
We'll just have to wait for the aftermarket to catch up like we did with the C5 and C6 Z cars.
I am tired of beating this horse, so I will check out on this issue. It really isn't that big a deal. As the saying goes now, "it is what it is...." The C7Z is still a fantastic car....
