Hell, it seems to me it would get hotter at an accellerating rate, much like air resistance would increase at an accellerating rate.

I've noticed this on my boxster. If the engine is not 100% warmed up...say 180 degrees instead of 185 and I drive fast the coolant temp actually drops 10-20 degrees sometimes.
