What do you mean by way to hot? The engine, radiator, hoses, inside the car?

When you shut the car down (garage or driveway) the engine stops running and therefore the cooling system stops pumping the water. While in theory the engine is not getting hotter, the heat is no longer actively dispurse via the cooling system. The engine (and coolant within the engine) has to cool down passively without any aid from the engine's cooling system.

i know what your sayin but my dads mustang doesnt seem nearly as hot afters its been running just as long as mine when its parked....but the entire motor if ya put your hand up near the wipers u can feel the heat and how hot it is...and i can check it like 5 hours later and its still pretty freakin hot...same with my dads stang i can check that about 5 hours later and its cool...dont get why mine stays so hott for so long
