It worked a little. I could go about 20 minutes before overheating. Still not enough to make a full session despite avoiding the redline like the plaque.

Finally, I break down and figure that since GM could care less about this obvious, well-documented problem, I might as well fix it myself. I got an aftermarket cooler (larger than the Z06), installed that, and moved the OEM cooler to over the leafspring, running 2 coolers. I swapped out the pan for a larger capacity pan increasing the transmission fluid capacity by about a gallon. I went ahead and upgraded the radiator too, so that absolutely nothing would overheat.

Today, I ran a couple of full sessions in ambient temperature of 97 degrees (103 per the stingray ambient thermometer) and the max transmission temperature was only about 225.
One caveat: it was a track I had never ran before, so I was definitely going much slower, and shifting a lot less. I definitely wasn't pushing the car and never redlined it. Usually my mpg is about 7 or 8, but today it was 10.5, so clearly I wasn't driving her very hard. But, no limp mode at all.

Your group of fixes sounds a lot like what LG Motorsports was recommending. For now I just have some heat wrap on the exhaust for the entire length of the transmission. I still have not scheduled a track day, I need new brake pads before I track mine again. Just hit 30,000 miles and stock pads are gone up front.
