A few things..
alright guys. i had my first defeat last night, granted i haven't raced anyone too big. it was a honda civic hatch turbo. the little thing was pullin so hard in third gear. first go was from about 50, wasn't necessarily ready and left it in third. needless to say i lost that one by about 3-4 cars. second run was about 45-50 and i dropped it to second. he started to go so i punched it and passed by about a car, but then he just ran back up on me and won by about a car and a half after third gear. neither car had a passenger. so thats my defeat. ALTHOUGH, i did notice i had my heater on full blast. i dont know how much effect this has on a car's performance.
my question: how much does the heater/air conditioner affect your your engine and power output?

i know when I had my civic the a/c was a major factor haha... but in the cobalt I really haven't noticed a dramatic decrease in power with it on... I do believe any car with the a/c on will have a decrease in performance
