Best Answer

First you should know that nitrous oxide (a.k.a NOS) is quite stable at room temperature.

However, in your engine, where the temperature is very high, NOS breaks down to its elements. Namely oxygen and nitrogen. Since additional oxygen is now available, more fuel can now be burnt in the engine thus providing more power and hence greater speed.

Why do they make cars go faster than the speedlimt?

They make the cars go faster then the speed limit so they have enough power to tow things, if need be, and to make up hills and other road conditions. If they only went 75 miles an hour there would be a major limit on the things you could do with them. It's the only way car manufacturers have found to sell their cars. Unless you live in Germany and you can take the Autobahn and go 80mph or faster, you really don't need a car that can go fast. It's a waste of horsepower and it burns gasoline for no reason.
