1. FAST CARS MADE FASTER
Back in the day almost every manufacture tried to make fast cars. Plenty of the cars had Hemi’s and V8’s
in them; that’s an easy way to build some fast cars. As time has grown, so has technology. As technology
has grown, so have these fast cars. They have been getting faster and faster as time went on. They have
been made that any top 10 list of fast cars you find will have a minimum speed of 200 M.P.H. I don’t
know if you understand how fast that is but that is 3 miles in a minute. That means every 20 seconds
your are completing a mile.
The average car today hits a top speed of 130 M.P.H , but it’s a journey to get there. With the fast cars
mentioned in the list , it’s a piece of cake. Nothing a twin-turbo’d V10 motor cannot accomplish. These
fast cars travel so fast and accelerate so hard that it feels like you are glued to the drivers seat, or
whatever seat you may be sitting in.
What sorts of technology has been helping decrease our already fast cars zero to sixty times and
increasing their acceleration.
One piece to help solve that puzzle is forced induction. To increase the amount of power a car has, you
must introduce a greater amount of air into the engine. This allows for the combustion to be bigger and
stronger; which in the end produces more power. How can we do this when our intake manifold is at its
limit? You create something called a turbocharger. A turbocharger uses the exhaust gasses of the engine
to spin a turbine which, in-turn, spines a compressor wheel. This compress wheel draws in air and forces
it into the engine. This is how you make a couple of fast cars even faster.
Installing a turbocharger doesn’t mean the puzzle is solved. Since our fast cars engine is not used to that
strong of a combustion, we must improve it’s strength but keep it lightweight. Technology has helped us
find materials, and production procedures, strong and light enough for our fast cars job. This production
procedure is called forging, and it helps make a material even stronger.
Let us give father time the credit he well deserves for our production of fast cars. Time and experience
has allowed us to test what works and doesn’t work when it comes to building fast cars. We have
realized that exhaust system are very restrictive, that we need more air, the valve open and close timing
can be adjusted and much much more.
Father time has allowed us to learn everything we know about fast cars today. Remember, that we do
not know everything and technology has plenty of room to grow and make our fast cars even faster. If
