Message	Back in 04 I drove a healthy NA through Colorado on I-70. a Z32 that followed me came out of Ohio. At 5000 feet, the engine began to lug down in 5th gear. We had to shift into 4th just to maintain 70 MPH. In 2005, I drove a turbo Z across country to Denver. The elevation changes were unnoticeable. We went up the Peak to Peak Highway over 13000 feet without power loss. Copied in Hell
Follow Ups	Calculate horsepower loss at your elevation. - WAGGZ 16:04:29 01/15/07 So you're saying the Denverites who actually - TT XTZ 16:09:30 01/15/07 lol...pretty cool find though (n/m) - xAzraelx 16:11:26 01/15/07 heh, Florida rocks.

(n/m) - CatnipZ 16:14:55 01/15/07 Do they have one for turbocharged cars? (n/m) - SactoTodd 16:27:56 01/15/07 Hmmm... - WAGGZ 16:34:11 01/15/07 HUGE advantage. - Ballistic 18:51:06 01/15/07 Uhhh, there's power loss for sure living here :) - Woody75 (Denver) 19:36:34 01/15/07 I got beat by a Kia on the interstate, even. (n/m) - Ballistic 20:39:13 01/15/07 FYI "Peak to Peak" tops out around 9300', not 13000'. - 300zx90 (CO) 09:47:52 01/16/07 So a 300 BHP TT driven on Mt Everest would have ~ 39 HP?

It probably wouldn't run at all. - AzHeat 17:14:44 01/15/07 I believe that the cut off point is 33275 feet. - WAGGZ 18:28:52 01/15/07 Massive rush of air? (n/m) - TT XTZ 18:31:03 01/15/07 Jet engines have a giant turbine much like a turbo, that - AzHeat 18:41:44 01/15/07 Interesting info: - TT XTZ 19:01:25 01/15/07 That IS interesting, thanx. :) - WAGGZ 19:20:47 01/15/07 fuel control unit... controls the fuel/air mixture. - Tu 13:08:07 01/16/07 Interesting, thanks. =) (n/m) - TT XTZ 18:16:12 01/16/07
