anyone else's air-conditioning not powerful?

I got my Camaro in March and have noticed that the air-conditioning is not powerful at all. One of my dads pickups he has for work is 5x more powerful and it is 10 years old. Is the Camaro air-conditioning not very powerful or should i get mine checked out?

Mine really isnt that great either. Try putting it on just the top vents and not feet, it tends to work a little better doing it that way. I also have a suburban that's a 2001 and the AC is 5 times better as well.

Mine isn't as great as my 2005 Silverado was, either. It cools it plenty comfy, it just takes a while. When I was driving at 92 MPH with the AC on though, it was working AWESOME on level 1, LOL. All that air being forced through the condenser and the air compressor being turned a little quicker probably helped.

Mine will run you out it's so cold. Seriously, have to turn the temp control up some to warm up the output after it's been on a while. This is in 92-93 degree heat.
