Hello CAC world I have a general question nothing to important more of curiosity but I was wondering I have a 92 corvette and I have seen other threads and heard that GM engineered corvettes to ride warm meaning the temp gauge will ride hotter (fluctuate) than any other car that I have owned anyway, mine for the most part stays in the middle or slightly below it unless I run into stop and go traffic (I commute to work In DC traffic) then it will start to ride hotter it has been up to the 3/4 mark and to be honest it has made me quite nervous at times, when the traffic lets up and I start driving a good pace again the temp gauge returns to the half mark that it normally stays at..so my question is that is this normal for corvette's to ride like this (are the stories true that I heard in other words) and if so can anything be done to maybe regulate the temp better maybe by changing out the thermostat or something like that and if I can do that can anyone tell me what kind I should get or are there any other ways to maybe keep it from riding hotter in traffic backup situations, my normal reaction when I see a temp gauge go up is to pull over and turn the car off before the engine blows but because I heard corvette's ride like this I haven't yet cause it hasn't reached the danger zone and always goes back down when i'm in a good driving pace, any insight or ideas would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance
