    My car does this automatically. If you floor it, the vents start blowing hot air.

    It does make me wonder how much it really helps.

      Like the vents start blowing hot air or the ac shuts off temporarily? If the former, then your ac probably just can’t keep up with the extra heat in the engine

        Several cars disable the AC compressor when they detect that you’re flooring it. This removes the mechanical load from the engine, releasing a bit more power to the wheels for as long as you’re balls to the wall.
