After 4 months of owning my car in this Houston heat, I finally had a chance to drive around without my A/C on and I swear I thought I was driving a different car! It felt like I had an extra 50 HP and I'm chirping 3rd and even 4th gear.

I just thought I would mention it!

Have a good day!

Blockbuster Video's are going to sue you for that "saying"


it is good to know that our cars wake up cause it is cold . Also we do not have to run parasitic A/C . Just that good old heater now arty:

I just picked up mine (Impulse Blue, automatic) from Gay Pontiac in Dickinson. Got it for $30,300, which I was real happy with. Haven't had it long enough to check it out with/without the air conditioner on.

The fastest car I have had was a 1995 Camaro Z-28.....6 speed, however this the new Goat would have blown it's doors off.

Mustang who?

In the evening around here with the temp in the high 70's I can start to feel the difference. I can't wait to catch a 60 degree day at the track. i'll clock off another 12 sec run and post it for the world to see. Then it's look out mods I got some BFG's to fry.

It was cool for the first time in a while last night and tonight here in Tallahassee. It spins at the top of first a little now and then gets all crazy with the hopping on the 1-2 shift and chirps third pretty good. I havent gone for 4th yet, nowhere that I can hit the top of third unless i go up on the interstate. It certainly feels a bit stonger though. And I only have 1300 miles on it, so it'll get good and losened up just about when it gets REALLY cool out. I can't wait!!!

With how "well" these cars handle the heat soak issue (unfortunately), the power being sucked up by the A/C unit as well definately presents a problem. So with winter coming on, we should be able to see some lower running engine temps as well as the bonus of full power... should provide good track times.

I can (sadly) only relate to a few things: A fellow Texan (native), Texas heat, and the set plan to OWN free and clear a 2006 GTO next year. :cheers

Thats funny dosen't the compresser disengage at WOT, all my other GM cars do!

 

[The_Goat]

Was 45 degrees here this morning. Took the Goat down the road and it felt like a totally different machine. Now that it's cool, I haven't noticed as much heat soak, even after its been run for a while.

You are correct, it does disengage.

 

[AggieGTO]

Same here! I have only owned mine since August and when the first cold front came through last week and it cooled down some I could not believe the difference! arty:

 

[ADDBoy]

would a 160* thermostat and a radiator fan reprogram help with the heat problems?
