Hmm, thanks for the great story, but what were the conditions under which 
this occured?  Here in CA, in the summer months where temps in the central 
valley reach over 100 degrees, my Coupe GT would get really hot, sometime 
even overheating going up really big inclines and such.  It definitely could 
have used an oil cooler, and for $25, that ebay auction would have been 
"great".  

If you feel that your car is not running hot, then you do not likely need 
additonal cooling capacity.
