Default To A/C or not to A/C

Well i am at a point of deciding to fix my A/C or just get rid of it. The Sc is not my primary car. It is the fun go fast car. I will say i like that idea of a fast car with A/C though.

Pros: Less stuff to deal with. More space to put trans cooler and mount front mount intercooler etc. i don't have to pay extra money to get fixed.

Cons: Yesterday the heat index here in Mississippi was 108.

I'd say keep it. Anyone that rides in that car with you in the summer heat will experience a huge turnoff when they realize it has no A/C. But that all depends if you drive others around in it

My man!! The fact that you're in Mississippi should already dictate what the answer to this question should be

You'll be looking like Striker in "Airplane"

Keep it. I've had 3 cars that didn't have A/C (granted they where all DD's) it sucked. Just as you said it would be nice to have a fast car with A/C
