Best Answer

The position of the throttle(gas pedal) decides how fast the engine can turn, and the selection of gear decides how fast the wheels can turn. And how fast the wheels can turn decides how fast the car will be going.

(note that this is quite simplified. Eventually the resistance of pushing the car forward will be higher than the engine can overcome, and then you won't get any more turns out of the engine, even if you try for more throttle)
