Air Conditioning and Hard Cornering
Noticed something while driving around the other day. It was eighty degrees out, but the clouds seemed to hint oncoming rain, so I didn't risk taking the top down. So, in order to deal with the humid climate, I turned the A/C to the lowest temperature setting and the maximum fan speed. Side note: I am very impressed with this feature the car has, where it blows cold air to pedal area. Moving along, I take a corner fairly hard and hear this very lound whirring noise coming from the A/C. I tried it once again, to be certain that it occured while taking a tight turn, and it proved to be so. Any idea what this is?

Yup, yup, yup
Funny, I was just describing this same condition in another post. I have the same thing happen to me when performing hard manuvers. I ain't big on it, but I ain't really worried about it. If it breaks, I'll fix it, otherwise it works fine.
