Watching other motorists pass you as you both drive down the highway can be a little bit embarrassing. Everyone wants to get the most out of their car, and getting it to go faster is one way. The question is, how do you get your car to go faster? You will be pleased to know that you can take specific steps to make your vehicle go faster.

Tyre Retread -- It is pointless to have an engine with loads of power if a standard car can leave you in a cloud of wheelspin. Unfortunately, most motorists stick with their worn-out standard tyres even after bumping up their engine power. You must transfer the additional power to the road, which means servicing your tyres. Although you can buy new tyres to go with a powerful engine, an easier and affordable alternative is to retread your old tyres. Retreading tyres makes them sticky, improving their traction. For best results, talk to a retreading specialist since they will understand what you want from retreading tyres.

Reduce Car Weight -- A car's weight largely determines how fast it goes. Typically, vehicles made from heavy metals require more horsepower to reach maximum speeds. Therefore, you should examine your car with a mechanic to determine how best to make it lighter. One way to do it is to strip your car of unwanted heavy parts. The perfect place to start is the hood and truck, where you can replace metallic parts with carbon fibre. With a light material on the front and rear sections of a car, an engine does not have to work hard to fly down a highway. If you have heavy audio speakers in your vehicle, replace them with smaller but more powerful versions.

Add Cold-Air Intake -- The muscles in your body need lots of oxygen to generate energy to move. Sufficient air intake also helps cool down muscles after a run, and the same applies to cars. An engine generates a lot of heat, and a radiator is charged with cooling it down to prevent damage. Therefore, when there is a lot of heat under the hood, an engine's performance is affected negatively. It is why motorists should have their radiators checked and cleaned regularly to ensure they are in excellent working condition. A better alternative is to add a cold air intake. The device exposes an engine to greater condensed air quantities, resulting in cool operation and increased horsepower.
