A/C Question
I have noticed that when I do WOT pulls and extended spirited driving with the a/c on that the compressor is turning off and the air is getting hot. I assume that is a design feature to give the car all the power possible. Has anyone else noticed this ??

I believe this happens on most (if not all) cars. Definitely not exclusive to the Camaro

I experienced this without the WOT pulls and extended spirited driving last summer. Just normal driving. Went away when I pulled the negative battery cable in trunk. So far so good.

I have never felt it in any of my trucks. First car I have had in a long time. Also don’t drive the trucks like I drive this thing. I was pretty sure it was a design feature though. The only time it does it is in the very high rpm range and as soon as I let up I can feel the air get cold again. Thanks for the input.

Some cars have better "capacity" so you can't tell but yes almost all cars shut the compressor off when WOT

The PCM disengages the AC compressor at WOT, has for 30+ years.
