I've NEVER had a car where I can't feel the loss in power due to the A/C, GT3 included. Obvious to me. I only turn it on when needed.

i dont know how it is on the gt3 but in my car bmw 330 i definitely feel a loss in power when ac is on, but it's no big deal. in hot weather i turn it on and i dont really push the car, on the track it's different. But make sure u run ur AC once in a while or you might get problems with it.

i know, i'm in the GT3 section....but i wanted to post anyway. =D

i barely use mine as i'm always cold anyway! today it's actually 95 in seattle so i may turn it on! i do notice a tad of decrease in HP. i don't run it during autox for this reason. they advised me not to. i just overheat in my helmet and hope my run comes up soon!

I use mine on long drives - especially at high speeds where wind noise becomes a bother. I use it at the track too. Staging and sometimes when it is outrageously hot. One or two HP loss is more than worth me not lying in a pool of sweat
