You can add a quart of toluene to a tank of gas, although this is only a temporary solution. Once you go through the tank, you'll loose the bebefits of increased acceleration.

Ah, yeah, you're right of course. Unlike your car, those vehicles are totally unaffected by the higher altitude.
But seriously...
If the SVX is, for some reason, more susceptible to lower atmospheric pressure, I don't know what that reason is and I don't have an answer for you.
My point was that
every car on the road around you has the exact same conditions in which their engines have to run. I suppose you could say that my answer assumed that the conditions affected each vehicle to the same degree, but I really wasn't that specific. It is
possible that some cars are better able to deal with higher altitudes with less degredation in power, but I
doubt it. I would think that there are more likely causes.
