True enough, I always watch the tflcars.com reviews and while they don't dyno for Hp they do the 0-60 runs at high elevation in Colorado and the times are always way under spec. I don't recall the vehicle (high end) but they took the same car and driver and tested at sea level California and then again in Colorado and it was a 3 second difference. On a good note though everyone around you has the same handicap.
