Hard core

I think in reality it only saps a few bhp.

But if you were building a track / race car then it definately should be got rid of!

I agree entirely, if it was just a track car it would be off along with a lot of other items but one of the reasons i went with the S was its level of civility and aircon was deff on the list. I just thought it was a cheap and simple way of having all available horses anytime you want it, obviously not much of a problem for the next 6 months.

I think I read about 5-6 bhp loss from aircon - can't remember where though! Not much of a % on your high powered beast though Mr Ox.

Why not buy a shorter belt and be done with it altogether!!!
