a few requests:
Innotech, if you have time could you make me a large list of supercars i could add to supercarstats.com? I want my site to be one of the only ones with extremely unique cars. Everyone else: could you please post car words many people don't know and their definitions? I am going to start an automotive dictionary. |

I'll put in my two cents. Your list should include the variants of the Mclaren F1, Porsche 959, Any new Bugatti (Eb 110, Eb 18/3 etc.) The Porsche 911 GT2, Konigsegg? CC I believe, some people know more about it, and the Dauer 962. As for Car Terms, I don't really know what your tlking about but if your talking about functions like Turbocharging, there are many people that can help you. for anybody who dosen't know though... BMW= Bayersiche Motoren Werke, Bavarian Motor Works ESP= Eletronic Stability Program, This is Mercedes def. but there are many others. 4WD= When all four wheels on the vehicle turn regardless. AWD= All four wheels turn bu there are more complicated processes involved like differential locks and power transfer. Differential Lock= In an axle there is a differential, when a vehicle is off-roading and one wheel or more up to three loses contact with a firm surface the differentials lock. This means that instead of the power going to the wheels without contact (easiest route) are locked and therefore the power is routed to the wheel with the most contact. Differential= As stated before, it is a section of an axle that has gears that transfer power form the drive shaft to the wheels. It is designed so that each wheel may turn at a different speed like in cornering. A car can't drive without a differential. Engines: Two types, four stroke and two stroke, all cars use four stroke engines. This is a simple process that involves automotive basics. There is and an engine block, inside that are cylinders that turn. The process of them turning is called combustion. It is where gas is put into the combustion chamber, compressed by the moving cylinder and the ignited by a spark plug forcig the cylinder down again. In this process exhaust is produced and moved using an exhaust system. There are also valves that let he gas in and exhaust out. They are timed and operated using a camshaft. It is connected to the crankshaft. Easy way to remember four stroke combustion, Suck, Squeeze, Bang and Blow. As for two strokes, they are commonly used as small engines and use a oil mixture and only employ two of the four processes. I don't exactly know how they work so I'll leave it to the next person. There are many other terms, some of which other people can help you with. Let other people reply to confirm what I said, some of it may be inaccurate.
