C8 Engine Bay Temperature
He there... New to the forum - but curious to see if anyone has measure the 'normal' (when driving around town - not on a race track!) temperature of the C8 engine bay? I heard it is hot, but I wonder if someone measure that in F. Share if you did. Appreciate it.

With the side scoops and the vents on top, the engine bay is probably cooler than a C7.
There is a lot of air moving through the engine bay.......
If anything the HTC will be the first to demonstrate issues--and so far it has not.

At the reveal of the HTC, Tadge said it was easier to cool the engine compartment in that car than in the coupe. The airflow in the smaller space is apparently easier to manage.
