I've got a manual EL XR6 - the driveline is pretty much identical to the AU XR6 HP. The revs do sit a bit higher, but that's better than having the revs dip too low when you hit the clutch and the car stalls with the A/C on , like my old XE used to do.

Yes, the ECU holds the revs higher due to the extra load of the compressor kicking in. Even the tone of the engine as you put the clutch is different to having the A/C off.
Oh must be a red car symdrome thing lol.

I notice that you can get a meatier sounding idle when you sit with the air con on. Nice way to fake having a hotter cam lol.
