Seems like all your readings are great except your sitting in traffic. While in traffic I usually sit at 85C per PowerFC. I'm about the same as you in everything else though

I appreciate your point Gordon, but I also think this statement might be a little too broad.
While this thread didn't get alot of responses, it seems like operating temps are discussed quite a bit. If it hasn't already been done by a previous owner, seems like almost everyone installs an aftermarket gauge to compensate for the OEM unit. Either coolant temps or oil temps...or both. Add to that the threads discussing larger radiators, appropriate coolant/water mix, fan mods, ducting, retro-installed dual oil coolers...or just the cooling system in general. That makes me think that most owners are pretty conscious of temps.
There are alot of variables as to what's "normal" across the board for the FD. But I suspect that most owners do monitor temps and are aware of what's "normal" for their car.

I agree. I always wanted to see something like this.
My temps in traffic can get really bad. I usually have my AC running. One time I was sitting in traffic for 2 hours and my air temps got to 99. I immediately turned to a side road and drove a bit to run air through the car with no boosting.
