I learned from experience that vehicles lose torque the higher the elevation due to the thinning of oxygen. I think it was something like 30% per kilometer in elevation. That being said I'm sure there's a level where they can't drive anymore.

    Which begs the question; how do jets fly higher than the mountain tops?

    edit = jet engines have compressors to overcome the difficulty. Car engines don't

    I should learn to search first.
