Yep thats normal.
As long as you're not into the red area you're good. Mine usually gets to half way max on long drives, its fine if it goes higher though.so.dont sweat it.

No, you're the same person. I could prove it, but this ain't the place or time.
Now back to your problem. You've already replaced the thermostat, next step would be replace the upper and lower rad hoses, and then get a radiator with metal end tanks, or an aluminum one. I just recently put a cheapo eBay purchased mk4 supra aluminum radiator in my gf's sc. $140 shipped, I figured it was worth the chance. It fit decent, bent the stock brackets to hold it down. It works GREAT. I live in tx and it gets ho here, thing stays cool with the ac on no sweat with a small crappy fan.
The stock sc radiators suck.
