Curious to see what you are running with your S.

DB, your fans aren't turning on very early. Mine come on within a minuet or 2 of hitting traffic. Once It''s warmed up, for what it's worth, the needle doesn't move much.
Don't know what your using for coolant, pretty sure it's not your prob but, your ready for a change. Might consider something like a quality version of GM.s Dex cool. Most of us traitors use Xerex dex-cool (compatible), about 1/5th the price of Porches exclusive juice and chemically identical where it counts (no silica or phosphates).
You probably knew all that already. If not, don't trust me, do some research. That's how I figured it out. It may still be controversial, so is the current issue at hand though.
