Overheating Problem?

My friends Rx7 3rd gen if ran hard for say 30 minutes or just ran for a couple of hours its temperatue gage reaches as much as 90 to 100celsius. If i turn the car off at this point it will jump as much as 20celsius. Is this normal in RX7 or is their something wrong.

normal. Fan mod is essential along with bigger radiator if you don't already have. Vented hood helped me a lot in florida heat
