After about 20 minutes of spirited driving my temp is usually around 107-114F, in the summer it usually hovers around 112-115F.

However as stated above, until the blinking Temperature gauge inside the AMG Menu has stopped blinking at the 80c - 99c it is best that you don't push the car.

agreed...thats exactly what i do as well

Any info about Jedi School?
