Why does my car accelerate faster?
Power to weight ratio is key to acceleration of any car. The less weight your engines power has to move, the faster it will accelerate.
Why do cars go faster in the next lane?
We suggest that this illusion occurs because more time is generally spent being overtaken (passed) by other vehicles than is spent in overtaking them. Knowing that this effect is illusory might encourage drivers to resist small temptations to change lanes.
Why does my car run faster when I accelerate?
The exhaust removes all the harmful and unnecessary gases from the engine. The sooner the exhaust excretes these gases, the sooner the engine can restart combustion. Therefore, if the car can excrete gases faster than it produces them, the car runs fast and smooth.
Why are trucks so much faster than cars?
The engines and transmission of a truck is geared toward producing greater torque and pulling power than high speed. You will notice this when you drive at same speed as truck and then comes an incline. The diesel engine has to switch to a lower gear to produce greater pulling power. 2. Loads they carry.
Why are cars more difficult to drive at higher speeds?
At higher speeds cars become more difficult to manoeuvre, a fact partly explained by Newton’s First Law of Motion. This states that if the net force acting on an object is zero then the object will either remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line with no change in speed.
Why does my car not go up speed?
A clogged filter might damage your engine as a result of dirt and other pollutants. It is important to always clean your air filter. A spoiled or damaged camshaft position sensor will produce wrong timing on the speed and reduce the power of the engine which might make it difficult to drive the car uphill.

What causes a car to lose power when accelerating?
1 Clogged Fuel Filter 2 Clogged or Dirty Air Filter 3 Clogged catalytic converter or particle filter 4 MAF Sensor malfunction 5 Oxygen Sensor malfunction 6 Faulty fuel injectors 7 Faulty fuel pump 8 Low cylinder compression 9 Faulty turbocharger/boost pipe leak
