Is this too hot?

Seams a little higher than it should be.

Garage
Mine Boxster hangs right around there, and that is with clean radiators and no coolant problems. If it goes significantly past the zero then you should be concerned.

Ok, thanks Rick,
I figured it was good but was not sure. So much to learn about my new toy.

I have such a long list of parts I want. Starting with wheels but I cant figure out which ones I want. I am thinking something in a gun metal color.

Don't worry about the spend on wheels - invest in the the Raby / LN Engineering low temp thermostat, plus replace the coolant - if you do, you won't see temperatures like that again (unless you spend a lot of time in heavy traffic).
I'll wager that the coolant (and oil) temperature(s) are above what you see on the gauge.....
