Car Performance

Car performance is more than just the ability of a car to reach top speeds and make sharp turns; it also has to do with the optimal performance of its components. It is the hundreds of car parts, from the smallest screws and spark plugs to the big tires, working together in harmony that defines car performance. It is these parts that allow motorists to experience the exhilaration of driving or riding in a well-maintained vehicle.

The automobile is a complex machine comprised of different components each with a specific role. Fuel is processed in the engine where it is converted to energy that moves the car. Exhaust from the combustion process is filtered to render emissions less harmful to the environment.

The transmission system feeds more power to the engine for the car to increase its acceleration.

The main responsibility car owners have is to keep these components working efficiently via regular maintenance. How a car works is a matter of chain reaction—all installed components are involved in the process and affect each other. A faulty spark plug can result in a drastic reduction of the car’s overall performance. Most of these components need not be replaced frequently, but that does not change the fact that they do need to be maintained.

All the power the engine produces for acceleration needs to be controlled, and only brakes can do that.
