The AC in my GTS is fine Oct--April, but summer is just brutal here. The AC will not
cool the car if you leave it in the sun. I do not want to put tints. It is fully charged with no leaks.

Anyone add another AC condenser as the Porshce 911 guys do. I am also looking at
changing out the blower motor to a stronger one.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

The converters throw a lot of heat into the vehicle. If you can get away with removing them, the interior temperature will be bearable.

I deleted my cats and wrapped the entire pipe in 1" exhaust wrap I got at Pep Boys. 2 packages did both pipes twice. You could hold your hand on the normally-scalding pipes when the motor was at operating temp.

Drink water, put he windows down and drive now slower than 95mph. Works great for me in Orlando. I also didn't have AC.

Explaining Viper things to you
From Texas... We are screwed here too. I have hiflow cats, great sill venting, and the interior has sound/heat deadening added. AC is great on the hiway, ***** anywhere else. The blower is great for moving tiny duck feathers at 2 to 3 inches away tops maybe. I drive my Super Duty during the summer days, and the GTS at night then.

There are several other factors that effect the efficiency of the AC in your car. We service them often - If you would like to stop by my shop I will suggest some options for you.

Cats are long gone. I am pretty sure the blower motor can be upgraded. Its just
trying to find one that fits from another car.

Thanks for the offer Doug.
