I understand most of these posts are aimed at high performance driving. I just took note of one post that sounded like every day operating temps were better kept lower than engine design perimeters. A thermostat marked 180 degrees doesn't mean that's the temp the engine will run at. That's the crack point for the thermostat to start opening. The engine temp runs about 20 degrees hotter than what's marked. Guess I didn't mean to sound so negative, I just wanted to point out that too cold isn't a good thing. I'm new to the Crossfire and this forum and I'm really impressed with what I've seen here.
