only occasionally. I will run it on the extremely hot days sometimes, or when I come out to the car and it's been in the sun, I run it about 5 mins to cool it off then open windows

Lots of times on the highway i run it, because it is less of an effect on MPG on the highway

All the time here in south FL. Past few weeks the humidity is kicking back up and creeping towards the 90's. A/C is a must here.
^^^^^^+1, Ay time that the hunidity is at or above 90% and temp is above 85 deg.

I'm in Washington and anytime the weather is warm enough I drop the top. Don't really need the AC.

No one answered his quetsion about horsepower robbed. It doesn't rob any horsepower at WOT if that's what you wanted to know, the compressor shuts down when you go WOT.

I can definately feel a drop in power with A/C on. I use it when I am on highway getting from a to b but if I pull up to a stop sign and a tough guy pulls ip next to me I turn the A/C off and waste him. I dont' know how many 6ers have tried to race me. Once while crusin on a hot day on interstate a ricer pulled along side of me and I could hear that stupid high pitch thing downshift so the A/C came off to properly introduce hime to all 8 pistons and flowmaster in his face. He got a good look of my tails quickly pulling away. Stupid ricers think that all they have to do is put that loud exhaust and stupid oversized metal spoiler on and their car is the fastest. He got schooled

Seriously! And the sad part is...ricers are the only ones who try to race me. My friend is about to get his turbo kit setup on his 94 probe gt, that should be a fun race from a roll. I'll still own his FWD *** off the line but a 2nd or 3rd gear roll should be super interresting. Then in a couple months (around end of summer) I'll be like hey, I'm supercharged now. lol
