Well I did not mean to short change it's height. Some Park brochure says it's [link|http://www.fresnobee.com/man/parks/yose_tioga.html#feet|9991 feet]. YMMV (or is that fotage :)). Besides, Milner Pass in Rcky Mountain National Park is [link|http://www.cronancomputer.com/rmnp/milner_pass.html|10,758 feet].
The car having a fraction of it's power going over Tioga is quite noticeable. The drive down to Mono Lake is something else.
