Found a set of uninhabited roads last night and decided to re-acquaint myself with the upper limits of my 500E.

I had both distributor caps replaced recently and noticed a bit more power on tap. I decided to find out just how much. After doing several WOT starts from 1st gear, I noticed that on WOT starts, and as the speed climbs on full WOT, the a/c compressor cuts out (i.e. a/c air is not cold). After letting off the accelerator (as I run out of road), cold air comes back on.

Is this just my car or does it happen to others as well? It makes sense to me to cut out the a/c compressor on WOT for a few more horsies...and I ain't complaining. Just worried that instead of MB's technological prowess showing up, something may actually be wrong with my baby.

(After replacing both distributor caps, by the way, the car was willing to break loose the rear tires a bit more eagerly )
