got mine fixed and it will freeze you out and it was showing 101 on the DIC temperature, Local radio said it was 96...

You could be onto something here, I notice my vents always run hot air out of them at first, more so than normal, or it could just be plain HOT out, who knows.

Mine never gets close to freezing me out. I even have my windows tinted and I stick up a sun visor in the front window. Also when I first rode in a camaro, at the dealership, it was real cold. So im going to take mine in.

I picked my car back up yesterday afternoon after the condenser replacement- leaky seal for those who don't want to page back in this thread. While I'm pretty damn sure your condensers have nothing to do with your issues, I can tell you that my Camaro is considerably colder now that it's been recharged (correctly). From day one it was cool to slightly cold but never to where I had to back it off because I was freezing my nuts off. Now it's a whole different ball game- without recirc even being on. It was 92 degrees here yesterday when I got in the car and not once did I hit recirc nor did I even put it on MAX. BIG DIFFERENCE.

I usually just keep it on recirc since it's humid as heck down here and it keeps it just ever so much cooler.

is it me or is it extra humid this year? normally its just a dryer miserable heat and now its like we are in houston with the humidity

It's friggin humid- no doubt. I mean, come on, I'm in Buffalo,NY and all you had to do over the past 3 days was walk outside for 10 minutes and you could wring out your shirt. It was 92 here yesterday and at my sister's house near Ft. Lauderdale, FL is was 86...

u gotta press the blue snow flake...even at a very low fan setting with the snow flake on i get really cold and it takes a lot for me to get cold lol

High humidity + cold AC = condinsation puddle's under your car. Relax, it's only water!

It was 90 something today... seemed like it anyway, and the A/C worked fine for me. Granted it's under 50 miles... so maybe it needs to be broken in. I normally have to turn all my AC's on to at least the third setting in any car I drive to feel good enough.

Took mine to the dealer yesterday to get the air conditioning looked at, and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Said apparently it's just a weak system. =/

If the air is not coming out of the vents at 40 deg F then something is wrong with it... what was the outside temp when they checked it? it has been in the upper 90's here and Mine is around 40F at the center vent.... Your Dealer needs to go back to AC school..
