I'd take an extra 5 months of winter to get rid of June-August in Georgia. Besides, our winters just mean it's "sorta cold", no snow. There is zero chance I'm driving around in 105 degree temps without my AC on.

I don't care I driving without ac gave me a hundred more hp, it's too damn hot and humid here. AC all day every day until around October. Bleh.

See, I tend to drive places where beautiful women frequent, getting out of a hot car with pit stains and a soaking wet back and a bad case of swamp nuts doesnt exactly do wonders for the game gentlemen, i'm assuming yall are married

AC is on. I'm willing to trade power for comfort

Well I keep the AC on if I'm going somewhere where I have to look and smell presentable.

But at all other times... bring on the monkey butt.

I read somewhere that the drag caused by having the window open consumes more power than having the aircon on.

You'd have to be going pretty fast for it to make a really noticeable difference.

If I got paid Nascar prices to drive I'd turn off the A/C too

i understand turning off the AC if you are going for some spirited driving and want to crank out all the HP you have on tap, but if you are driving around with the AC off all the time just for the extra power, you might as well just gut your interior to save the weight too. Its a car, there is enjoyment in the driving experience besides accelerating. The car takes corners, and brakes just as well with the AC on.
