While W203 sedans are known for "heat sink" interiors, esp. around the driveshaft area, the A/C takes care of that. Unless the person is "racing", I'd imagine that they'd leave the unit on AUTO. The H.P. losses are going to affect it that much. My buddy has a 750hp MK4 Supra, and runs his A/C all the time, even when making a "kill", because of the heat from the driveline housing & firewall.
