City/highway driving?
What model C7 - standard/Z51/Z06?
What transmission - auto/manual?
"Spirited" driving or just normal street driving?
Not sure there is a "normal" on temps but certainly would help responding if more detail was provided.
Dallas temps Friday were 90+, Normal street driving in my 3LZ Z06/Z07 temps were water/199, oil/201.

I went for a drive yesterday afternoon on the highway and it stayed around 200 or so for both oil and engine temps. Ambient temp was 103. Must have been the stop and go driving in the hot 100 degree temps in the city that heated to the 216 range. All is good.
