Default Normal Operating Temp?

New 370Z owner here with a temp question. Do these cars tend to run hotter than most? I just left mine sitting in the garage for the last 2 hours after a very short drive to let it cool down before I begin to polish the hood, and the hood is still very warm to the touch.

While driving my temp gauge stays 1 dot below halfway mark. My oil temp is typically ~200 but has been as high as 220 on the upper dash gauge during normal driving. Does this all sound normal?

It's my daily driver, but it's only about 10 miles to work for me, and I try my best to drive responsibly
