Seriously, if you cant live without dont take it out. Everything on a performance car is about making compromises bestreen comfort and speed. Comfort for car guys rates on a scale from 0 to 100 so it just depends what you want to do and waht you can live with.

well, i still have my a/c, but it blew the compressor about a year ago.... however, i dont have my car with me anyways so i guess i miss it all!! lol!!

100% humidity in miami is an understatement. A/C is a must and though my plans include alot of power, i am keeping my a/c no matter what!!

I took my a/c out with the turbo, never used it before than anyway. I don't miss it, but my car is not a daily driver. If I need something with a/c I can drive my truck.

Also, without disrespecting the guys out west the humidity is a big deal. I was out in Texas, Oklahoma, Nevada in August. It was 107 in Texas where we were working outside. I still did not sweat near as much as I did when I came back home and it was 20 degrees colder.

I dont think i have the heart to take her out and get her covered in rock salt.

I still have mine but have been on the fense for a while. I don't drive mine often as I have a daily. Even when I do drive it I use the AC only a handful of times throughout the year. But man when you need it you really need it. With the humidity in Maryland it sure does come in handy at times. But I'm still considering it.
