new owner 2003 ZO6
New to us today-Quicksilver ZO6, 80,000 miles. First question is related to coolant temp at very slow speeds (2 miles of gravel road to get to the house), what should we expect? Seems to want to run at about 220 after coming off the highway.
Enjoy while you can.

Congrats and welcome.
These tend to run a little hotter. I don't think 220 is much to be concerned about but you'll want to make sure there isn't anything obstructiong the fresh air intake. They breath from the bottom unless you have an aftermarket air intake, and debris could get sucked up from underneath.
