Just a datapoint.

Doing on-ramp acceleration, romping on it in 3rd gear on the freeway, etc. just enjoying a few WOT blasts, I have yet to break 220*F.


This is what I'm seeing too. Mid 80's ambient, 7/11 build 2011 MT w/ 3,500 miles on the factory oil (yes, yes, changing soon @ 3,750)

The highest temp I've seen is about 219 (just below the 220 tick) after a couple miles of enthusiastically driven twisties.

I have noticed that the temps fluctuate between about 200 and 210+ in mixed driving with the A/C off. If I turn the A/C on, temps seem to hold very steady at about 200. I'd assume from the cooling fans that kick in when the A/C is on.
