I dunno what bandimere you are racing at, but the one I raced at in July was 10.5k DA. That was with the temp at 80*

I have always wondered if top speed gets higher, lower or stays the same at higher altitudes. Sure you have less horsepower at higher elevations, but you also have less air density and therefore it is easier to push the car through the air. Does anybody know for sure?

I actually live up north in Moscow but I was driving to Idaho falls when I did this. The car actually felt quite strong, and Steve I don't know if the A/C shuts off or not but I sure as hell had the thing floored!!
