Default High Altitude
I am getting ready to make a trip to Colorado and want to drive up Pikes Peak. Is there anything I need to do to the car before I do this?

Nope. Nothing at all. It will work fine, but like all normally aspirated cars, it will lose some power.

Just keep in mind that the last ~13 miles are gravel road. Not too big of a deal.

Be sure to take along some warm clothes. It gets pretty cold at the top (14, 110 ft about sea level!).

Enjoy, and take lots of pictures!
