Are these temps normal?

Maybe. Oil temp 195F, Coolant 105, Xmission 168F.
What year/make/model/options (Z51?), ambient OSA temperature when noted?
Z51 has an extra radiator for track cooling.
They're not bad for normal driving, if you're in Z Mode and running the shifts to the orange/red line.
My SR HTC w/Z51 runs cooler that those temps.

Yes, Z51. My fan was so loud that I couldn’t hear the lady in the drive thru. Had an exhaust installed and definitely noticed the car running hotter. Outside temp was only 18 degrees.
We've heard cars run hotter with some aftermarket exhausts. Too hot? I don't know about the oil temps, but the coolant temp is OK.
Rumour has it that the oil temp sensor is in the tank which in my mind would read lower, especially until steady driving for a while. But what do I know....
I have definitely seen higher temps. Why do you drive in Auto, kinda embarrassing...
I don’t have Z-51 and my coolant temperature is usually 78c . Even when driving aggressively. That is with ambient air temps in the low 20’s . Maybe check and see if a seagull got sucked into the air intake vents….
You don't have an aftermarket exhaust, correct? Just cats and maybe headers?
yes
8.6L fuel economy, smash the skinny pedal before that engine gets all carboned up
Lol. Last year trip to Lake Lure...
Don't need to worry about Carbon, Carbon Tax rebate in the Bank this morning...
