Drag limit

Absolutely.
I believe the equation is:
Drag = Cd*FrontalArea*Density*Velocity-squared
Density being dependent upon the factors you listed. However, it takes alot to change air density significantly, so it's not a huge effect.
Sure, you'll go faster where we are, at 3,000 ft, but remember you'll be getting less air = less horsepower in an NA car, so the overall effect is actually slower.
