You could say the same about any manuf. There are always some factory items that you shake your head and ask why they didn't beef up. 997TT has many, as we know (and is 2X the price) (suspension setup comes to mind).
Not sure what Jmunjr did off the track to get those temp. I can tell you definitively that you have to really drive the car HARD to get above 210 degs on the street/twisties. Who really drives 5/6K to Redline for 20+ minutes straight when not on a race track? Nonetheless, I do think you prob need supplemental cooling if you really want to race this car. When I (in 100+ deg heat) got a warning (I think at goes off at 250 or 260), I just backed off a tenth and all was fine. No biggie. Lots of other cars were running VERY hot that day and similarly had to back down.
Re: the Spec-V. What a freaking joke. Who would buy that? Terrible value for money. I'm serious.
