whats normal temp. ?

i have a 92 rs 350, i thought normal temp would be around 180 -190 but every now it gets up to 200 when i am driving it hard, but the other day it got up to 220 and today it started to get up to 210 and i started to slow down and turned the heater on.

well my question is that normal for temp to get about 220 or is that getting too hot ?

thanks

Ah Ha!!! You didn't search before you posted...:nono:

Thats okay, I will answer ya anyway...

YES, our cars run hot. 220 is normal. THe secondary fan, if so equipped, is not going to come on until like 227 or something like that...

I assume of course your cooling system is sound and your temps stay down while cruising and in cooler weather...
