IMO, when just tinkering around town, Ferrari has Porsche beat hands down for excitement. Even my 997.2 RS with GMG exhaust paled in comparison to the Scud.
I was thinking about altitude as well, although to be frank my GT3 has loads more power than i can use on the street. Not sure i need more power! I am about 30 miles west of Denver, but drove my GT3 to Telluride for the weekend a few months ago. Awesome area.
I spend a couple of months a year in Telluride. PM me if you decide to make a trip there next Summer.

This is a point most people miss, or ignore. They forget the primary use/purpose of the car. A street car has to be fun to drive on the street, given the limited number of track days we can attend.

your car is ridiculous! by far the best sounding street car I have ever driven...raw, visceral, spine-tingling! awesome!
458 is more of an "occasion"....GT3 is sublime--soooo good at everything
I'm in on Ferrari. I found the buckets in the 458 Speciale had me smashed against the roof so I'd have to get a proper setup.
The buckets in the Speciale are awful. I swapped mine out for seats from an Enzo. They are much better. They sit lower, have more padding (making them more comfortable), and have better lateral support.

Long story, but a friend of mine in Germany ended up with the seats, the engine, the transmission, and a few other bits from a prototype Enzo that was created by Ferrari for the launch, and then dismantled. I paid roughly $8,000 for them. They are absolutely wonderful seats. So much better than the factory Speciale seats, which are rock hard and really bother my back (I have a bad back). They have the 3-D fabric. And maybe best of all, since they were in a prototype car, they are one-off's, as Ferrari ended up never using this 3-D fabric in regular production Enzos. I love driving the Speciale, but I especially love driving it with the Enzo seats.
