I live in colorado.

Driving your Z in the snow is not for the faint of heart. I've dropped a healthy chunk of money into a winter tire package and it's still not exactly practical. i've never driven my car at sea level so i can't speak to the HP loss.

i haven't modified the stance at all and i still end up scraping as a lot of the roads around here are really poorly joined together with all the hills. i live in colorado springs and commute 40 minutes to castle rock everyday and i still have tons of power on the interstate.

i love my z though. would not mind something AWD for the winter though.
