A/C sucks....I hate when the wife is with me on hot days. She always make me turn it on.
I drive so ****ty (bogging starts, rough shifts) until she *****es and lets me turn it off.

Anyone else find a big difference in driving when it's on?

MASSIVE difference. I never use it unless I'm on the highway and it's 85+ outside. Besides, you can't hear sheit with the windows up.

Maybe it feels faster with the AC on because usually the windows are up and there is less aerodynamic drag.

You mean like the one about "The STi is a better car than the Evo"? That one has already been tested and proven to be false........NUMEROUS times.

there is an urban legend about STi is better car than the EVo?

I don't think that's even an urban legend. that's just plain ignorance right there.
