your ok, i know that they changed engines in 97 but i think that the fan should still turn on at 210-215. the temp should go down a little when the car starts moving, if it doesnt you might want to change your coolant and get the correct ration, could try cleaning out the radiator also...

my 89 RS runs around there, my 89 IROC is a bit lower, but it might have an aftermarket thermostat in it.

My '96 RS with stock temp thermostat stays somewhere above 185, but never reaches 210 unless it sitting idling for a while, and not even in cold winter. I had a 180 thermostat but had to put back the 195 because it was too cold for the winter. And there is no engine difference from 96-97, things changed in 98.
