Mine is typically 165-180 in mixed city driving. Pretty much solid 170's on the highway. Both are in Texas summer heat.
As info, I have added a bottle of Redline WaterWetter to my cooling system. I also have aFe headers + Corsa cats (among other mods).

I'm surprised how long mine takes time warm up to be honest with you but once warm in "normal driving" what you're seeing is consistent with what I'm seeing....
Edit - I've only driven mine so far on warm Virginia days 85-95* weather....

That is in often hot NE SC. Same on 100 F days. Engine oil and DCT temps, which I have showing on the left of dash, a few degrees below. Both use liquid coolant/oil heat exchanges. Mine is a Z51 with its added coolant rad in passenger rear fender scoop.
It sends that extra cooled coolant to the DCT but that takes a heat load off the engine.
