I was told years ago, when visiting people in Boulder, that the cars sold there were "tuned" expressly for high altitude. Our "flat-lander" new Datsun (it was a few years ago) was feeble up there.
I always wondered about the cars sold up there. Is there any truth to this, or is it something that is no longer applicable to modern computer controlled cars?
Turbos are good at altitude, of course.
