Just wondering if anybody ever had any over heating problems in gt's and what the resolution was,

was thinking of a coolant flush for the summer.

Never seen her above normal 200-ish. This includes a 90F sunny day and wicked humid at Lime Rock Park track as we just hopped into the car, started her and just idled for 25 minutes so we could have some AC on us(!).

If it hasn't been done in some time, i'd power flush and refresh. May as well as it can only help things

NEVER! Coldest ambient temperature was 25F and highest was 96F and never anything but 200 on the gauge. The one feature i found to be absolute in this car is that it runs at 200 degrees no matter what, period.

Sort of like those stickers for instrument clusters on children's toys.
