and you guys think you have it rough... i have the "oz" (i'm hating that name more everyday) and if i'm planning on accelerating AT ALL, the first move is to switch off the AC.

Am I the only one who is a little concerned about the AC compressor spinning up to 6-7K on a regular basis? I suspected this was happening because even under sustained high RPM the AC always seemed to be cold, this test seems to confirm this.
Maybe the compressor can handle it, but I am thinking that with the way I drive it is not going to last long. I know the FD RX7 would disengage the AC clutch above a certain RPM, perhaps this would be a good feature for this car?

Thanks for the confirming numbers, thats a pretty big reduction in power! I always try to leave the AC off, but lately the extreme heat has won the battle! Its not only a major drag but adds load to the engine creating more heat.
A true lose-lose scenario for sure.....except of course that you don't have to swim in your own sweat!
