That's a little on the warm side, but nothing I would worry about.

Mine runs about 195 driving around and 205-210 in stop and go.

I've never seen 210 steadily...ever.

Only on hot days in traffic do I see over 200.

Every car is different. Do you have a lot mods? Mine runs right over 200 running around town. Get into traffic or go to the track it stays right on 210. If you're real worried about it mybe you should invest in a T160 and have it installed. That way the fans come on sooner.

Mine runs right around 207 consistently. When I start modding I will have (and would recommend) putting in a 160 and having the fans tuned to keep the operating temp around 180 or so.

i run 190 - 192 with stock stat. It only gets up to 210 or so when in stop and go... make sure you don't have anything blocking the radiator from the bottom... you sometimes suck up paper bags and such which can block airflow

For comparison....

Today was 60 degrees on the nose going to work.
In 20 minutes of stopped traffic (sigh) it went up to 216.

As soon as I got out of the traffic and back to moving on the freeway it jumped down to 190 and settled at 194 for the rest of the ride.

So if yours is running 210 while driving in 60 degree weather it is running abotu 15 degrees hotter than mine.

Stock thermo and stock fan tune.
