Conversely, my 993 drops heat like a rock once parked.
The contrast is pretty shocking. But I'm easily amused.

Well, they have something like, what, 20 litres of coolant and getting on for 10 litres of oil. Plus all the metal, that's a lot of heat soak to dissipate. Think it's more those quantities than the mid engine bit. I doubt a 996 looses temp much quicker than a 986.
