The Modern Day Sports Cars

With a mere 275 horsepower it was outperformed by all competition. “Along with the dreadful horsepower, Ford owners complained that the trucks they purchased yielded inadequate miles per gallon” (Powerstrokehub). To compensate for both these issues, for introduces a much higher pressure fuel delivery system that would allow for the cleaner burning of fuel and overall less fuel needed to run the engine. Ford and International Navistar also introduced a newly designed smart turbocharger. “This allowed the turbo housing to expand and contract depending on the throttle position” (Truck Trend). This allowed for a quicker spool time of the turbocharger with allowed a quicker horsepower gain and output resulting in better fuel economy. Tighter machining tolerances were also implied for almost all of the engine components that went into the 6.0l Powerstroke allowing grater compression of the engine and mitigating areas where oil, air or fuel could leak out under high pressures. “With all of these changes implemented that new 6.0l Powerstroke engine boasted a whopping 325 horsepower and 516 foot pounds of torque” (Banks Power). This gave customers a truck that could outperform all of the

Another reason that this car is a beast is that this is a car that came late in the muscle car game. The Mustang, GTO, and the Camaro are already

The Chevrolet Corvette has been regarded as the best all around sports car by many, while it is not as fast as some cars, nor has the handling of a purpose built race car, looking at it in the areas of cost, compared to other world class

The continuing rotation of the crankshaft drives the piston back up, ready for the next cycle. The piston moves in a reciprocating motion, which is converted into circular motion of the crankshaft, which ultimately propels the car. Gas engines usually have about the same about of horsepower as they do torque. The diesel engine usually has twice as much torque as it does horsepower, thus it is the better hill climber and load carrier.

horsepower. Although these newer muscle cars do have plenty of power and will more than

Like the Mustang GT, the Camaro SS has a huge fuel-injected V-8. The engines on each of these living beasts, pump out well over 250 horsepower. Both muscle cars have excellent 0-60 times in the five-second range and with quarter mile times within the fourteen-second range, give or take a second. There are drawbacks to every good thing. The Camaro and Mustang are primarily two seaters with minimal room in the back for an adult. Children are perfect fits, although adults can ride in the back, it makes for a very cramped ride. Both of the muscle cars are excellent examples of competitive pricing, with the Mustang GT retailing for $25,140 and the Camaro for $29,656. This just goes to show that you don't need to spend more than $75,000 for a top of the line sports car. The Camaro and Mustang out perform some of their more expensive brother and sisters like the Viper.

III. Tie to the Introduction: From the origin of the car till the design and mechanics.

Stock car racing has evolved a great amount since 1920’s when racing first started. The cause of racing was because of the Prohibition. The 18th amendment banned the production and possession of alcohol. So people had to make their own liquor, called moonshine. In order to make money from liquor, part of the job was to deliver it to their customers, but with the law enforcements trying to obey the new law, Moonshiners had to make their runs at night. They also had to use vehicles that would blend in, and would not create too much attention, but those vehicles couldn’t out run the cops, so they decided to make some slight modifications to them. After moonshiners made these slight modifications, they were able to run 120 mph on a dirt road

Powerful six- and eight-cylinder engine options, both producing more power than previous years, paired with reliable engineering and a smooth ride to create a car that appealed to a wide variety of people. Each body style also provided ample room for both passengers and storage.

This beast of an engine harnesses a mind-blowing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. The fuel economy is also pretty great, measuring in at 16 mpg combined, regardless of which transmission is

According to perceptual maps, the BMW, Honda, and SAAB cars are the main competitors. This is because their positions are close to the Infinity G20 in the map. Individuals view Infinity G20 as a brand for success. Moreover, they think that it’s more attractive as compared to its competitors. However, the BMW is the most prestigious and most quite, according to the perceptual map. SAAB is the most roomy and most quite car, according to the perceptual map. Also in Exhibit 1, most of the respondents perceive BMW as more prestigious than the infinity G20 in the market.

car will accelerate and how fast it will go. Newton’s second law is the easiest to understand in relation to a car’s acceleration. Newton’s second law mathematically states Force=(mass)(acceleration) (Murphy 78). This law explains why cars that need to accelerate fast should be relatively light in weight compared to other cars. Removing mass, such as a bumper, radio or fancy upholstery reduces the weight of

In addition, the stopping distance is longer considering the weight factor of the vehicle. Both these issues make this automobile very dangerous to the driver, passengers, other motorist, pedestrians, and small furry animals. On the other hand, the lower center of gravity that the car has to offer makes this vehicle less likely to roll over. There is also a shorter stopping distance for the car considering the weight of the car is much lighter.

Basically the higher the speed of a vehicle, the more difficult collision avoidance becomes and the greater the damage if a collision does occur.

So for years now, the car industry has been evolving. While it is getting bigger and bigger, it is also branching off to many other sub-industries. Among those industries, one of the most popular is the racing one. It has been evolving since it has started. And to say that it is very popular in this generation would be a huge understatement. Even while it is an industry of its own (Racing industry), it still has many different branches. For instance, when we talk about racing, we can have an endless discussion about how many different kinds there are. On the legal side of racing, we have organized activities such as NASCAR racing events, but if we want to talk about illegal racing ways, we can talk about street racing or drag racing on local streets. This however, will be discussed in the main part of this paper. So before getting into the meat of this paper – which is the driving question (“Why is racing important in the car industry?”) – We need to answer why talking about his is important to know about. So, why is this topic crucial to know about? Well for starters, racing has become one of the most popular activates that most teenage boys and professionals partake in. other than that, racing brings one of the biggest revenues economically to the table. Now this means better improvements in the car industry as a whole. While we are talking about improvements to the car industry, we can certainly talk about how sport and
