What are acceptable engine temps and another? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I'm driving my Z around Phoenix here and I want to know how hot is acceptable for the engine. If I get stuck sitting in traffic and have the AC on it has gotten up to 255 or so (digital reading) and I get fairly nervous and turn off the AC and sweat it out. It still says COOL under the digital readout but I wanted to get your guys opinion. I did change the coolant and flush all the fluids a month or so ago.

Secondly: I get the ASR service light and push the ASR OFF button on my car. I've only had the car a few months and it gives an error almost immediately if I start driving it without turning off the ASR. My real question is I hear a bunch of "clicking" noises when Im taking off slowly. It seems like they are suspension or cv joint related? Anyone have any run ins with these noises? Click Click and then it stops when i'm up over 20 mph or so (or I just cant hear it at that point :P) The car has almost 86k miles ...
