I just can't help but feeling I'm sitting in a small van when I'm in the STi when driving the speed limit. But I do still have my 911 sitting in CA, so I guess I shouldn't only have coupes in my garage.
Well it's a bit down the road. Guess ill hold off on any future mods for now.

Thanks for the brainstorm!
Yeah you have all the cars that I want to own! From Sti to 911! Lol... Why you don't like the Evo's dual clutch. I haven't drove one. My buddy told me there is some strange delay when shifting. But it's a very fast car.

Although you can turn up the boost, you will always be fighting against the lower atmospheric pressure.
Not only NA or boosted cars will lose power over there but also us human too...

Although you have popcorns, potato chips, chocolate bars to turn up the boost, you will always be fighting against the lower atmospheric pressure as well.

I think a proper tune might fix some air to fuel ratio problems, it's not necessary to make up the power lose due to the less condensed oxygen at such a high elevation place.
