Default Gathering Running temp facts

Gents,
I would like to take a poll of the running temperatures of cobras equipped with FE engines. The intent is to look at how our cars cool on hot days in stop and go traffic. This info will help establish reasonable cooling system goals and provide insight into what works and what does not.

The following info would be really helpful if you wish to go beyond the basic poll:
1) sustainable temperature
2) Ambient air temp at time of observed behavior
3) Brand of Cobra
4) Overbore of engine block, if any
5) Thermostat temp rating
6) type of fan(s) used, brand and diameter
7) shroud or no shroud
8) brand/ type of radiator
9) approx horse power of engine if known
