....when you have air con!
Driving home tonight it was raining rather heavily and there was substantial standing water on the road. On my way home i have to pull out of several junctions that are rather busy so you have to go for a gap when you see it. So, DSC off, i proceed to pull out for a gap in the traffic and the engine revs die then pick up at the last minute to save me from impending T-bone
I had forgotten how much torque the air con saps from the engine and i drive with the air con switched off 98% of the time. Of late i have been using it to demist the front screen given all the rain we have been having. It seems a bit of a rigmoral to switch the DSC off, then the air con just to get a sharpish pull away.
I could of course use 4000rpm+ but then that would be silly......
Anyone else experienced this lately?

P.S.
a) My car does not suffer the yoyo effect and
b) yes i can drive, my clutch control is not crap
(Hev...no comment please lol)
