Air-con, how much power drain?
Is there any significant loss in power from running the aircon vs having it off?
i suspect given the torque of these cars it wouldnt make much difference, but on the track do you guys switch it off? just curious, would be interested to see a back to back run with ac on vs off..

At WOT the vehicle should cut back on the A/C compressor output so I doubt it makes much of a difference on or off the track. I don't have any personal experience or numbers to back that up though.
