Garage
These cars really could use for better cooling.

If the fans kick on then the car does a good job of holding the temp but normal operating temp should be lower then it is.

City driving in 100+ weather gets the engine warmer then I would like for sure. So hot that you feel the heat from the intake and wheel wells when stopped at a red light with windows down.

After parking the car it makes the whole garage a few degrees warmer as it cools down.

My question for the more technical guys is... How on earth did the air cooled cars ever manage? It seems Porsche's first water cooled cars only do a mediocre job of keeping heat to a minimum, so how did air cooled cars fair? Particularly big bore turbo models later on like the 993.
