The car has a 185 degree thermostat, and is running 15 degreess over
that in intense temps. no doubt with them a/c on... and you're
complaining?

Why do people think 200 degrees is hot?

I vote to pull gauges out of all cars and install a simple red light.

My advice. Put the original thermostat back in and be impressed that you
have such a good and capable car.

I give up.
