What, really? In my Gto, it was ridiculous. I sometimes had to turn the heat up a bit because it got so cold in there

Up here it's annoying for maybe a handful of days a year... I went with no AC at all and t-top action this summer. Now if my heater ever had problems keeping up I would be car shopping in a hurry. lol

A/C may not be as much of a concern, but like Nick stated here, I was used to turning my A/C down, and that NEVER happens in my current truck. Cooled seats would help that for sure.

Link, when you get fired back up!



I get it. The ONLY thing I would say, and it's a BIG difference from Gzm truck to Ford, the A/C is literally not even comparable. Again, though, in Texas that's a huge deal, it may not be where you are.

the new 5.3 already beats the new 5.0, and the old 6.2 smokes the ecoboost. the new 6.2 is going to rape everything out there.

No talk of the Hemi rams during all this half ton truck talk. I had many many chevy trucks, got a little too sick of stupid issues and bought a dodge, 2002 1500 to be exact, damn good truck but the 4.7 v8 was rather gutless, so i bought a hemi 1 ton dually, no diesel for me, up here in the rust belt i would have a rotted out truck that wouldnt pass inspection with a great running drivetrain if i spent the money on the diesel.....anyway, the new rams with the 8 speed tranny are gorgeous trucks, good mpgs too.

thats all i ever did on my 85 trans am, but that car had no AC period, no choice for me. i was 15-18 when i owned that car, i could care less. while all the dudes were trying to rip it up in their civics and volkswagens, i had a t top trans am in the high school lot.

Move down South and you would change your mind, lol. A/C is not an option, it is a must.

What!?!?, you guys don't brush your teeth in the morning while wearing a unicorn mask in a very violent fashion? I thought that is how everyone else does it? This would explain why most of the general public doesn't have nearly the frequency of broken noses like I do.

I'd have to disagree, I haven't had working a/c in the past 3 years in mine. Windows down works good enough lol

Well I'm going to the local 1/4 mile track tomorrow night. Anyone want to venture a guess to what I will run?

2003 Cobra 2.8 Kenne Bell with supporting fuel mods, magnaflow x-pipe & cat back, 4.10's on a 28" e.t. street. Track elevation is 4400'. We are supposed to have cool weather so I am hoping that the DA is around 4500 or even lower if I get lucky. Any guesses?
