But i'll take it to chevrolet, but here in spain, the dont have much idea of these tipe of cars. thats why i'm asking for help here.

thanks a lot...
Hello, I got back form a track day yesterday and had no trouble with my Z06 oil temperature, which stayed at around 93C. (Dijon France, I live in Switzerland)

I know this may sound daft, but where have you placed your front number plate. I would take it off completely (plate and support) or move it to the side. In Europe they have a tendency to place the supporting mount in the lower middle intake grille, covering the lower oil radiator.

If you air temperature was high, reducing flow into the engine compartment certainly will not help.
