That's basically the point I was trying to make, and the 2017+ changes didn't adequately solve it IMO. If it overheats after driving hard for 20+ minutes on 85+ degree days that's still an overheating problem and I dont want a car that does that. My ZLE doesn't overheat under those conditions. I'll take my 1-2 seconds slower ZLE and drive all day with no worries.
Even driving only May-June and Sept-Oct here in so cal you'll regularly encounter 85+. That's a nice day for the track, I just want to focus on getting faster and not crashing.
I've also heard of a stock ZR1 overheating on a not super hot day, after 15 minutes in the hands of a good driver. This is 1 data point, but it happened and surprised me considering the substantial airflow openings on ZR1.
