Normal driving I get 70-100 depending on ambient temperature and type of traffic I'm in. I'm told with heavy track use you can sit on 150.

A lot will depend on where it is measured. Current car is measured from rear bung on block.80-90 cent up to 4k in5th in the cruise. Rises a bit as load increases with hard driving.On track up to 125cent but at that point I let it cool.
In winter, even after 15mls normal urban driving temp may only reach 70cent and that is not fully warm.
