Can't say I ever noticed it without the A/C on but just driving it a couple more days I don't really even notice it with the A/C on anymore. I'm pretty much willing to chalk it up to just being unfamiliar with driving it. I can't even notice it now.

It doesn't matter, A/C on or off, the auto is a dog when it's in full auto mode and just crusing around. It actually feels slower than a honda civic because of the 7 gear auto trans and always being in the highest gear. When you put it into manual mode and cruise around in the 3k rpms... the car feels alive again.

I cannot agree more.

I hate this car during the summer in AZ. Something about the A/C being on completely kills the spirit of the car. It's more than just the expected power loss.

Last night, it was like 85 degrees so I got to drive her with the windows down A/C off for the first time in months. ****, that was fuuuuuuuuuun. That's the kind of throttle response I expect from a sports car. I want that, all the time. Anyone know if a tuner can "fix" the ecu to compensate the throttle response when the A/C is on?
