Why not
It changes the air resistance of the car - which is the controlling factor of top-speed.
Air resistance against the car as it travels and the friction of the wheels against the ground slows it down and so reduces the toy car's potential travelling distance The weight of the car\on the car, the slope of the ramp and the material the car lands on or on the ramp
The air effects the speed of the car because its kind of like a parachute. if you have a car that's not very aerodynamic it will catch the air and have to push it, but if you take a car that's very aerodynamic it will slice the air and have very little Resistance.
The ThrustSSC
i believe through watching too much top gear that the air resistance increases exponentially as the car gets faster.

The resistance is greater the faster the vehicle is going.
Removing side mirrors from a car will lower it's air resistance.
The ThrustSSC
The faster the car travels trough the air, the more air resistance there will be so it will be harder for a car to accelerate (hence there are top speeds). However, there needs to be some air resistance for a car to move.
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
Wind resistance (actually, Air Resistance) works against a car- it has to push air out of the way. Cars that are "streamlined" are designed so they slip through the air more easily than those that are not.
when a car is speeding up how does the forward force and air resistance compare
No.
Give more flow. (air passage ways) If your in a car and theres a hurricane near you, you don't want your windows closed. There would be air resistance and move your car.
