Exactly, 24/7 A/C on even in winterconditions. No power loss whatsoever.
I also read somewhere @ WOT /pedal to metal in some BMWs in some circumstances the A/C is turned off automatically to give that extra power.
But as already stated. Our cars already are rather powerful so the difference on/off would hardly be felt anyway.
I once drove a 60BHP Suzuki Alto. The difference between A/C on-off is maybe 5/10HP but on such a coffeemaker engine you definitely feel it. Not on our 340+ BHP cars....at least it shouldn't.
