75 degrees ambient is about when I usually need to turn the cooler fan on - and that's with the (wheel-well Setrab) cooler permanently plumbed inline.

With the fan off, the temp hovers around where your gauge is indicating in the photo once the ambient heads towards 80. Turning the fan on drops it to one-third to half gauge (no numbers on my gauge face).

Warmest indicated temps are usually idling in traffic after a spirited run. Sometimes, coolest temps are charging up a hill in a lower gear with revs over 3500.

At any rate, the cooler - with fan running - has been able to handle any situation encountered so far here in sunny California.

If I recall, the original Spyders didn't spend a lot of time puttering around in stop and go traffic, though.
