If you are a fan of white-knuckle rides and fast-paced cars, you are likely searching for some performance enhancers which will provide you with a bit of extra kick. Although some of these can be quite technical in their nature, it is still a great idea to have a quick look at three of the most common additions that are used.Nitrous OxideNitrous oxide works by increasing the combustive capability of your engine. In other words, a greater efficiency is achieved. This is one of the reasons why nitrous is often used during straight races (such as those on streets). Tanks can be kept in the back seat, the boot or even in the glove compartment.SpoilersThese visual additions do much more than add a bit of class to your car. The main point of a spoiler is to force the back of the vehicle down when air flows over the top. In turn, this provides much greater traction. The only other way to accomplish this would be to increase the weight of the car; not ideal if you feel the need for speed!Cold Air IntakesOne of the issues encountered with many high-performance sports cars is that their engines tend to overheat rapidly when driving fast. Often, coolant alone is not sufficient. In this case, many enthusiasts will add a cold air intake atop their bonnet. This attaches directly to the engine. The end result will be a natural flow of air into the hottest parts. So, oil will stay cooler and higher speeds can be achieved without worrying about damaging sensitive parts (or the engine itself seizing up).So, it is clear that such enhancements serve very functional purposes within any vehicle. Ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds, these devices will certainly provide you with the “kick” that you need to enjoy a fast ride!
