The car IS getting excessively hot, however typically when stuck in traffic on a 95 F day (and much hotter off the pavement) with AC on, for 45 minutes or so. What should be expected temp with a basically stock SC?

I have now read a lot of threads on Cool Collars and a lot of the learned Pcar enthusiasts don't have a lot of good things to say about them. Without talking any numbers (Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Celsius or otherwise) I DO see a definite decrease in temp... now I am not sure if that has any adverse effects anywhere else (that heat only has one place to go), but until I decide if I want to install a Carrera Oil Cooler it puts my mind at ease.

Thanks for all the input,
Marc

PS JMPRO your cooler scoop will be my next attempt at lowering temps. By the way, I think all of these SIMPLE ideas are great and I believe that is what owning one of these older Pcars is all about (amoung other things ).
