Tires squealing, superchargers whining, turbos screaming as the air is forced to mix with fuel. A concoction resulting in immense, intense power from what some would call a box of metal. A meaningless, mass produced, grocery getter. However, these stereotypes are not true, due to one attribute. When that pedal touches the floor, magic is in progress, and pure, raw, unkempt power is unleashed. Air and fuel forced to mix, as if they were great enemies fighting one another. The spark plugs, igniting the furious battle between them, causes an earth shaking explosion. The pistons scream as the energy forces them to slam downwards, turning the ever-mighty crankshaft. The energy rushes through the flywheel, turning the many transmission gears, funneling angry horsepower through the drive shaft. The rear axle is the surrogate through which the tires squeal, launching the car down a ¼ mile track in under 10 seconds. …show more content…
Passion for vehicles is everywhere, and the ability to make them shoot down a track at tremendous speeds is an amazing feat of power. A block of metal making power that could move worlds? That’s crazy. Anything that can be done to go faster, it would be done, and be bested soon after. Vehicles are used EVERY day, and people spend a majority of time in them. How could you not wonder how they work? Wonderous machines, moving millions of people daily. One of the largest markets, worth billions of
The car’s front structure is divided into zones, each of them with the specific role during the deformation process. The different properties have been achieved by using different grades of steel making the outer zones softer than the inner zones, also ensuring that the collision forces are absorbed and controlled in an efficient manner in order to minimise intrusion into the passenger compartment. The engine also contributes to effective defamation due to its space-saving transverse installation and that all main components in the engine bay have their own predetermined positions even after a frontal collision in order to help reduce component intrusion into the cabin and provide the occupants with optimum
Oftentimes I wake up early on a Saturday, and attend a car show somewhere around Houston. The one I always attend is Cars and Coffee. Hundreds of different cars come, and among them comes many Porsche 911s. Porsche’s, based on my experience, doesn’t get that much attention. People pass by and just take a quick glance at it and move on. I think this car gets less attention because of the stereotype who buys it. Mostly everyone knows that people who buy Porsche 911s are men during their mid-life crisis and that everyone who owns a 911 drives like a complete lunatic. However, the 911 might be a good car, but its nemesis has more reputation and a better value. The astonishing Nissan GT-R
A. Attention Getter: A loud roar is heard in the distance as the driver revs his engine. Eight cylinders of Intense power with its five speed transmission. Cars that are meant to be raced and compared to each other. In an adrenaline pumping race of performance. According to Fast Muscle by Gabbard and Gabbard, “The decade began with Ford, GM, and Chrysler in an expanding cubic inch and horsepower war.
American culture, its society, and its landscapes are all shaped by the automobile. The automobile is more than just a vehicle or a means to get from one point to the next. A car is a symbol, upon which Americans project their dreams, desires, goals, values, beliefs, and identities. In Dagoberto Gilb's short story, "Love in L.A.," the protagonist's name is Jake. Jake envisions his ideal car, with crushed velvet interior, an FM radio, electric controls, and a heater because "he could imagine lots of possibilities when he let himself," (p. 432). Jake's vision is more than a vehicle; it is the American Dream epitomized.
The document “The Social Influence of the Automobile” was written in June of 1922 by Allen D. Albert. In this article Albert is saying that since the creation of automobiles the life has shifted for the better. “…almost without a pause in our thinking have we adjusted our lives to these factors new since yesterday”1 while automobiles brought a drastic change in life as it was, people adjusted to it quickly.

Terrorizing the time clocks, and burning up the tracks, the Dodge Demon was released as a production car instead of an exotic to be sold by everyday manufactures. With being the fastest production car on, and off the track, setting time of zero to sixty in two point one seconds, and an outstanding speed of 9.65 seconds in a quarter mile, the Demon became the fastest production car in the world. As an audience, it is important to be drawn in by the editor’s or publisher’s words, whether the article is credible is another important fact, which seemingly is to be understood by the reader him or herself.
Henry Ford had a dream to have every home in America have a car. Automobiles were around, but only affordable to the wealthy since they were all custom made. The first automobile that was affordable to everyday American people did not come around till the 1920’s.

I also do appreciate the parents as well because they spend their hard earned cash on a huge gift.
The automobile has had a tremendous impact on society and the environment since its development in the beginning of the 20th century. Today, there are over 500 million motor vehicles on the earth. The automobile's efficiency, style, and performance have changed over the years, but there is one thing that has not - the pollution the automobile generates. Because of the pollution, people find themselves asking whether this technology has helped our society or hurt it. Should the consequences of the automobile be cause to eliminate it? Or should science develop technology to eliminate the pollution caused by the car?
“The pace of our development and introduction of new and improved vehicles depends on our ability to implement successfully improved technological innovations in design, engineering, and manufacturing, which requires extensive capital investment.” Page 27
Tesla motor is a car company that manufactures, design and sell electric car. The company named was named after a famous scientist and physicist Nikola tesla. Its headquarter is located in Palo Alto, California and it has a main production plant is in Fremont, California. Currently tesla motors have launched three models, the tesla roadster, model S, and model X. According to Elon musk, Cofounder and Ceo of tesla motors, “A Tesla motor was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. Elon musk is a cofounder of PayPal and space exploration as well as chairman of space X and the solar city. Tesla factory in Fremont is currently manufacturing about 1200 to 1250 car per week. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.” Beneath the surface, however, there are opportunity and threats, strength and risks.
Whether it’s a lifted truck running a hemi or a suped up WRX, your dream car embodies what you desire, the life you’d like to live, and the kind of person you’d like to be. Your real car embodies what you have, the life you live, and the kind of person you are.
