Re: High oil temp in trackday!

284 sounds a bit high for a C6 Z though it's not so high that I'd think something was wrong. I was on track at Roebling this past weekend with my '06 Z and saw temps in the 240-255 range though it was only 80+/- degrees F. I think I recall seeing temps in the 275 range at VIR last July (boy was it hot then).

In my C5 Z I too saw temps hit/pass 300 degrees F so I also added an oil cooler and never saw them pass 260+/- afterwards.

I would simply take Subdriver's advice and run a slightly higher viscosity oil to compensate for the higher temps.
