Dramatically less power with A/C running?
I don't know if this is a normal thing on all mustangs, but when I have my A/C running I get a much less power level than if I had the A/C off. Is there something wrong with my car? Help pleaase...

My sixer was REALLLY bad about AC power loss. That's why I never used it. I thhink the only time I really used it at all is if it was really hot and the car had been baking in the sun for a couple of hours. I would use it to cool the interior then turn it right back off.

maybe this is your solution. get a big cam so your car dies, and then when the girl asks for the a/c, tell her you cant.

I hardly notice the load on my GT. But I use the hell outta my AC. Its too damn hot down here in Mississippi not to run it. Plus those damn leather seats dont help out at all when ya get in there after its sat in the sun for hours. I got 3rd degree burns on my legs last summer from that chit!
