Dont recall actual temp, would have to dig out the manuals but unless it breaks half way I'd say you were ok. I've had my FTO for 3 years and even now that its turbo charged my needle has never gone past just below half, sometimes sits slightly on the half point but never over.

80-90 degrees I think is quite normal isn't it?
Maybe more the 80 mark

mine will rise for a bit sometimes after comming off the freeway and them stopping in traffic...but if look at the scale its not actually increasing by much.

FYI I just re-positioned all my guages in my skyline and poped all the needles...now my temp is always a bit below half - so if this has been touched it doesn't really mean much - just make sure it doesn't go max!

spetz is right, mine around 80-90, usually around 85. All my other cars are around 90.
