Why do diesel truck drivers and excavator operators always leave their engines running?

Some cars have limiters. My 98 nissan 240sx had two. One was a wire from the gagues to the ecu telling the ecu how fast i was going and to stop me from exceeding 118mph. Well after that wire was cut there was a sensor on the transmission preventing me from exceeding 6000rpm in 5th gear. Then I disconnected that. My speedometer only went to 120mph. Wonder how fast i was going...

Guys, are you in love with your car??

Yeah the speed limit!!

What wastes more gas: putting the top down in a convertible or turning on the air conditioning with the top up

Electronically governed.means the engine's management system will read your rpms...and start cutting spark to alternating cylinders in an alternating fashion.this is done to keep you from going too fast.the US govt requires cars to be governed to 155MPH...people bypass this function all the time.

If you cant have an open container in a car, why do limos have mini bars in them?


Other cars are governed by aerodynamics.

Driving.??

i own a shop ,and the one main thing that everyone seems to forget from time to time is the gear ratio they have with out the right gear there is a limit to what any car will do,that's why the nascar cars run such high speed gears,put an street gear in them and the wouldn't do over 120 miles per hour wound as tight as you could get them,but even if it didn't have a chip in the computer,it would still have a limit on how fast it could go,good luck i hope this helps.

Why do people driving ford mustangs or that having racing stickers on their vehicles drive so slowly.?

To bluntly answer your question: Yes! All cars are restricted by
horsepower, gearing, weight, and aerodynamics. The more aerodynamic a car the better its potential for a higher top speed. Aerodynamic drag plays the biggest part in limiting a cars top speed. After that is horsepower and gearing. Some cars even have a speed limiter built into the car that shuts off the fuel at a certain speed. The car manufacturer may think it is unsafe to go any faster than there predetermined top speed so they "won't let you".

Does anybody have enough money and would be generous enough to make my dream come true of owning a Evolution9?

resistence of air. abread truck with a thousand horsepower engine would still probably go slower than a normally aspirated lambo. lambo has better airflow than the bread truck. same reasoning for airplanes the slicker the airstream the faster it can go.

I'm looking for new car at around $25,000?

Yes, but it depends on the car. Some cars have functions in the computer that limit either the maximum speed or the maximum engine RPM. Other cars are simply limited by the laws of physics - they reach a point where the engine can't make enough horsepower to keep going faster.
