I'm not saying 210 isn't fine, but I personally saw my car pull 2-3 degrees the second the coolant ticked over 190.

I meant fine as far as safe, yes you are definitely going to lose power in hot conditions, in part because of the higher intake temperatures but high engine temps don't help either. Cooler is better overall, no doubt.
