Default 350z Ac

Is the power with the AC on significantly less that with if off? I'm asking because I've had some really close calls with some cars that I probably should've destoyed (240sx & VW Golf and not a VR6) BTW it was expressway driving so I know it wasnt my crappy shifting skills :P

I havent noticed too much of a difference. Maybe it was your shifting. Did you down shift before jumping on it?

Personally, I notice a huge difference in the driving characteristics and power with the A/C on in my 350Z... then I guess it could also be because I'm **** about these sort of things.

Yep, I was already going about 70 and I shifted into third.

yes, the car is not running at full potential with the A/C on. I always turn it off when racing someone. Just drive the car on the highway with the a/c off and turn it on, you should be able to tell the difference.

its good for 10hp or so.

I wish my AC would get colder. takes 10min to cool the car down.
