Someone needs to build a circuit to disable the A/C under acceleration instead of just WOT.
its called the off button

I bet you drive a manual and didn't get Navigation. And use a typewriter. And a cassette deck.

If you want better gas mileage, you shouldn't have purchased a 370Z. :)

nope got all the tech stuff and in car and home and work, so now. If the A/C shut off under acceleration then it would only be on at stop lights. We are on the accelerator 95% of the time.

I find it hard to believe you accelerate 95% of the time on public roads, and I don't think anyone besides me would use A/C on the track :)

I know I don't accelerate that much in my daily driver, which is mainly city driving in a small city.

well I live in TX and when not at a stop light my foot is on the gas most of the time, very little breaking really, so even if its not heavy acceleration it is acceleration and having the A/C cut out under acceleration would mean its hardly ever on. Just saying that wouldnt be a very good thing in the car, WOT is fine.

So if you need to street race you lean over and hit the little button on the dash that turns off the ac. Not really all that tough. Why is this thread 5 pages long?

Its all about getting the post count up....

Shooting for 1K...

When I drove through Texas I probably had the least acceleration of a 24hour trip - just long highways at constant speed.

I agree, but I think you guys are talking past each other. I think ZSteve means that the car is under power -- The accelerator is depressed .. e.g. not coasting.

You and others are using "acceleration" in the "physics" sense (which I think is how most people use it). When you are accelerating your velocity is increasing. So, by definition, maintaining speed on a highway is not accelerating.

I still wouldn't want my AC cutting out as I get up to the speed limit from stop light to stop light ...

so you coasted without using the accelerator thru TX?:icon14: If you werent under acceleration the car would slow down and come to a stop. WOT is fine for the cutoff but not any other time.

"acceleration" means to change velocity over time. Unless your speed is increasing you are not accelerating.

Acceleration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You're confusing "pushing the accelerator" with acceleration.
