Engine temp
I have a 2013, 427. It seems to me that the engine is running really warm. On the road, it continually runs 212 to 220 all the time. The oil temp is also high,between 190 and 200 depending on traffic. I was thinking about installing a new thermostat. If I do, is there anything I have to do? Thanks in advance. Roy

I know the original question was not about the 2014 Stingray and this is not an answer to that question.
I am thinking the engine temp will be ecu controlled and will run in the 212-220F and the only way to change that will be through an ecu tune.
I do not recall seeing info on that so I could be wrong.
