I may be relocating out to the Denver area for work shortly (from FL; I get cold when it's under 70* here...), and am wondering from those who have moved from a sea-level area out to Colorado; is there a noticeable drop in performance in the car?

Car isn't too powerful as it is; I'm wondering how bad it is a mile above sea level and up through the mountain highways.

Good to hear that people are able to drive this car out there; I was considering selling mine for a STI or something b/c I wasn't sure how it would fair out there.

Oh, and one more question - is 93 octane readily available out there?
