thanks for the additional feedback.

I actually google mapped it, and I guess I overestimated.

The car reached 180 degrees within 5.4 miles and 10 minutes, but only just. I don't get on the gas hard as soon as the coolant reaches 180 because I know the oil temp lags behind it quite a bit. Still seems long compared to my other cars, but such is life. Seems to be normal. Still going to do a 160 thermostat for track days, but doesn't seem to be an immediate necessity.

thanks again.
