Something Important for Street Cars
by JOEN'S
street racing cars
Street cars have special characteristic like high acceleration and speed, different paint job as your personality. Street cars can be used for racing and the others just for show up when driven. Whatever about them, actually there are something important for street cars lover.
High Performance Braking System | Street cars have been completed with Anti-Lock Braking System according to high acceleration and top speed. It can prevent street cars from skidding by a computerized system of braking. ABS can give more safety guarantee at the time wheel stops spinning suddenly while the street cars have been moving fast. Skidding often happens at this condition if street cars have no ABS. This system can stop moving street cars with a smooth process and it can reduce tire wear of street cars. ABS is standard equipment for high performance cars today
Tire Pressure - Nitrogen | Actually most of the cars are running on under inflated tires, it’s terrible for street cars. In auto racing the championships use tire pressure nitrogen, do the street cars need tire pressure nitrogen too ? absolutely yes ! at less than extreme temperatures nitrogen is inert gas so it can prevent inside degradation of the street cars rims from oxidation that make rust at steel belts in the tires. Nitrogen tends keep tire pressure three times compared the compressed air. The other hand compressed air usually mix with oxygen that cause potential oxidation.
Ethanol in Gasoline | To anticipate leak of fossil oil, some of federal government determine regulation that mix 10% ethanol in fuel out of a gas pump. This mix fuel will not damage the modern engine. Street cars can use ethanol because it has an octane rating of 104-105. Two non technical problem when using ethanol, first it absorbs water well so you will often find water drops in the fuel tank. Secondly basic rubber hosing of fuel lines will prematurely deteriorated by ethanol.
Hybrids Engine | According to the new emission rules coming into place in the European force development green cars. Ferrari is fastest street cars designer and never think about low mileage and bad emissions. Awareness about global warming Ferrari develop KERS system in street cars. Kinetic Energy Recovery System produces electricity from the braking system and stores it. This system produces an additional 80 odd horsepower in the F1 street cars that can used anytime when street cars need. It’s time for clearly a challenging place for low mileage sports cars.

Super cars are vehicles that have phenomenal speeds with high performance machines. Even super cars are the most special and exiting ones but super cars consume more fuel compared with common vehicles. Usually V8 super cars machines can accelerate more high speed more fuel consumption. So what about global warming issues if super cars support more carbon dioxide emissions. Fortunately there are still one of the super cars factory think how reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Lamborghini proved as super cars factory that concern about environment by improve its V12 engine combustion with car reduce the weight.
Completed with the new retrofitted engine as super cars from Italian, Lamborghini Murcilago super cars can accelerate to top speed of 350 kilometers per hour but this super cars can reduce by 35 % of carbon dioxide emissions in it’s combustion.
More achievement to reduce Carbon dioxide emissions not only from super cars itself but the main factory of Lamborghini Murcilago super cars at Sant Agata Bolognese have installed 17 000 square meters of solar panels on the factory roof with factory cutting emissions by 30 per cent. This super cars reduce emissions three times about 495 gram of CO2 per kilometer. So Lamborghini Murcilago proper as green version super cars.
Another different information of auto, let’s see toy car
