question for IS350 owners near sealevel
most of you probably dont think about this much because you have AIR where you live. (i live at 6200 feet ASL)
im curious, with the additional HP and TQ you have near sealevel is it possible to turn the traction control off, and light the rear wheels from a stop? not that i condone that sort of thing, but up here ive broke them loose a couple times but you have to be on somthing other than dry pavement for that to happen.

In Sacramento (12 ft ASL), I had no trouble lighting up the tires with the traction control off.

This reminds me of a trip I made back in college to Durango, CO in my '91 Integra. We did the 19 hour trip non-stop in the triple digits all the way. Once we got into the mountains, there was NO POWER at all. I didn't have any idea what the problem was, so I thought I had toasted my engine with all the high speed driving. I was so embarrassed when I pulled into an auto shop to ask them to look at it...

I hear you loud and clear...Colorado is beautiful, but I love being much closer to sea level. Even my turbo car likes it MUCH better.
