temepature inside of the cabin

Down here in Dallas, Texas it's 96 degrees outside today. I was curious to see how hot it would be inside of the car so I took along with me a pretty accurate small digital thermometer on a drive in and around North Dallas starting at approximately 3:30 in the afternoon. All sun and not a whole real lot of wind blowing around. I put the thermometer on the passenger seat and made sure it's temp feeler thing or whatever wasn't touching the seat or anything and also made sure that it resided in the corner of the seat where in sat unexposed to most, if not all, of any direct sunlight beaming down into the cabin. The windows were rolled down as well (That'd be f'in suicide if they weren't). I Let the digital thermometer adjust to its newfound climate change for the first ten minutes of driving around. Traffic was still moving briskly as rush hour wouldn't be getting off to a start for about another half an hour. So anyways, The average temperature inside of the cabin of my black on black 2000 Mustang GT on a hot and sunny day in Dallas, Texas was (drumroll please)... 120 degrees Fahrenheit! The lowest temp was 118 with the highest peaking at a rather astounding 122.6 degrees. So my question to everybody now is just what kind of temperatures are you all seeing inside the cabins of your Mustangs?? Any input from owners, especially living in Texas, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Jeff J.

Not a prob. I thought I'd post this after having had two different people recently comment to me about the heat inside of this car. 122 degrees seems awfully ridiculous. What if it gets to be 110 outside??! What on earth will I do then besides turning on the a/c and taking the 20% hit or whatever on power that comes along with it?

See the way I look at temps is kind of like how I look at speed. The temp gauge hitting 100 degrees is kind of like going past the 200 mph mark on the speedo. After that point the numbers become exponentially harder to keep surpassing themselves.
