yes, I run those temps in heavy stop and go especially during warm days like today. I'm next door to you in Nassau County and will see 225 in expressway traffic with the heat coming off of the blacktop. I don't ever remember going over 230 though. I think somewhere around 228 the thermostat kicks in.

If you want to cool it down just turn the AC on.

Hi There,
I would look at the front of the radiator for debris. These cars are bottom breathers.
