I was wondering at what temp should I start worrying? It is getting pretty f'n hot here in FL and my gauge is reading right at 210 degree on the highway, and in traffic. I have replaced the radiator, thermostat, 50/50 coolant/water mix.

I live in Phoenix, and my car regularly goes higher than 220. You have nothing to worry about.

Mine generally goes 195-200 on a hot day sitting in traffic. Then again hot in PA is nowhere near what some of you guys deal with.

mine sits at around 210 when in traffic and 200 when driving on the highway. but i have 410's in an auto so it wrapped up pretty high.

Mine runs at 185*-190* all the time. I have the computer tuned for the fan to come on earlier but even when I had it switched it never got over 190*

probably 230 or so. by then both your fans should have come on and lowered it some
