Problem is, where I and most other people live at over 5500ft, the Mustang is not fast. In fact, the car I just ordered, a G30 540i, is miles quicker up here.

You need a turbo / supercharged car here.
5,500 ft is not in any way going to bridge the gap between an 11.8 1/4 car and a 13.2 second car. Maybe if you'd said M550i.

Back in the day a buddy had a B6 S4 and I had an M Coupe. In Dallas or Vegas (where we each lived) my BMW was noticeably quicker. At my folks place in Santa Fe, at 7k feet, it was closer, but still not equal. However driving up the ski hill, over 9k feet, he'd have a small advantage. And this is two cars that were less than a half second apart in 1/4 mile times and actually about even 0-60.
