Whats the normal running temp on the GTP? Mine is a 97, and this week it seems to be running hotter (210), is this normal or is this high?

i dont know if this will help but...210 seems a little high..considering water boils at 212..maybe the air flow to the radiator is blocked somehow

That's where coolant comes in. Not only does it raise the boiling point of the water in the radiator but also lowers the freezing point.

Hello,
Sorry to be off topic with this, but....
Water under pressure also has a higher boiling point. The greater the pressure, the higher the boiling point.
Later now,
