A 2.5L will probably be in the mid 6 sec range 0-60 and high 14 sec range in the 1/4. Since your car is a Tip I would add a few 10ths to those times. Like Randall said, I wouldn't invest any go fast mods because you will end up with a much lighter wallet and not be much faster. I would just be happy with what it is or upgrade to an S. The temp sounds about right to me. My car operates at about 180- 185 degrees on the highway and about 190ish in stop and go. 3.2's put off more heat but that is what the 3rd radiator is there for. Maybe 2.5's run cooler though I'm not sure. If your radiator starts collecting a mass of bugs and junk it could cause it to run warm.
