Default high oil temp/coolant temp

Just purchased a 03 Z06, driving today with these hot summer days, I noticed oil temp got to 245 degrees coolant was between 230-240.
This was with normal driving around town, not very heavy traffic, speed ranging betwwen 35-55mph.
I know these cars run a little on the warmer side, but that seems to high for normal driving.
What should be somethings I should look for?
thanks

Oh yeah that is high. Check for trash in between the radiator, condensor, etc. Check your fans to make sure they are operating properly. Flush radiator and check operation of your thermostat. If you dont find the issue then checked for a blown head gasket.

Thats hot for a moving car, no way it should get that hot if you have decent airflow to the rad.
