I think he means Density Altitude. It's usually around 2000-2500 ft in the warmer months...

Btw...C&D got the auto sedan V to 60 in 3.9 secs and the quarter was done by 12.1 @ 122. That is SMOKING fast!!!

Yep.....density altitude is a big factor in aviation (I was a pilot myself), but it can also affect auto performance at high altitudes and/or in the hot summer months.

Another win for the M4.
Wish they had the RCF with the Carbon Pack in the comparo. I hope Lexus engineers are working over time to improve this car.
