I have to admit I have no experience with 60 C t-stat versus 85.
I understand what you are saying. If this is true (there is 100% flow from 95C on a 85C t-stat) then of course the 60C t-stat wouldn't do anything to lower the overall high cooling temps.
Remember I am facing 100C coolant temps at 75mph w/AC . I actually need to go faster in this traffic...at least 80mph which means 110C coolant temps...which sounds bad.
Maybe I haven't understood what people claim but I thought it is exactly that overall coolant temperatures go down. Why should I otherwise even think about the 60C t-stat?
Anyone with experience?
