What is the normal coolant temperature for an e85 2.5i and a 3.0i

Anyone know these values? I think they are the same but I'm not sure what the value is

No, but here's a plot of temperature from my 3.0si on a hard lap around Road America on what was probably a 60 degree F ambient day.

My ///M seems to run about 180 with a good head of cool air.
It gets up to about 200 sitting in traffic, and then the fan kicks in.

12:00 on the gauge. Just a nudge closer to the 11 side almost always.

Yup, I recall seeing ~200* Fahrenheit sitting in traffic according to my P3Cars vent gauge when I first got it and was curious about the car's coolant temps.
