to a degree... any motor, no matter how powerful will always have less power at higher elevations.

yeah, the air up there is soo much different than the air your normally driving with... im not sure if its thicker, or thinner or what... but your car would def. react and run differently

the higher you go, the less dense the air becomes.

Even at a mere 4,300 feet, I was able to notice a difference in my car's big honkin' Chevy V6. I'm sure you'd notice it even more in a Civic with a stock motor.
