how do ground wires enhance a car's performance?

Essentially the metal parts of your car form an electrical circuit.  Electricity flows from the negative terminal of your battery, through the frame of your car, and back into the positive terminal of the battery.  In theory cars are not well designed from an electrical standpoint so the ground wires make the flow of electrons through the body of the car easier, which should improve ignition and audio system performance.

Ground yourself properly !

See if your radio will take an external antenna.  If so, then grab some wire and string it around, and as high as you can.

The fuse should always go on the hot (live) wire.   The neutral is the return path.  The ground is the safety ground in case a short develops and the hot wire comes in contact with the case of the appliance.    The neutral wire is supposed to be at ground potential, but because of resistive losses in the circuit (wires) this is not always the case.  This is why there is a safety ground, as it is not normally part of the electrical circuit.

Yes. The car acts as a Faraday cage, so the current goes around the surface and does not harm the occupants.

Its airspeed will remain the same.\n\nIts groundspeed will be the vector sum of its airspeed and the car's speed.

A power supply will provide as much amperage as possible depending on the resistance of the circuit.  The formula is voltage=Amps (current) times Ohms (resistance).  Or E=IR\nIt is possible that the resistance of your race car is too much for a small power supply.  The power supply can't overcome the resistance of the car.  \nMost little converters are built for electronics running very little resistance.  An electric motor has higher power demands.

the signal applied to the antenna is in relation to groud. the signal spewed out by radio stations travels thru the air. and a very small signal is placed on the antenna in relation to the ground. the receiver circuit takes over from there. if you drive by a radio station you will see their big antenna very isolated from ground. to prevent arching. the signal coming from them is very powerful. \n\n                                  Greg..

Your car is a safer place to be in an electrical storm because, if struck, the metal frame of your car will provide the path of least resistance (which is what electricity always takes) to the ground. Your car and all its electrical systems will be fried, but you should be safe (as long as you are not directly touching that metal frame).\n\nAnd as for your rubber tires providing insulation ... think again, because that small amount of rubber will do very little to stop a lightning bolt with somewhere over 10 million volts of power

The ignition coil from a car is a good way to be able to get a high enough voltage to run electric fences to keep away possums and the like. The rest is a matter of circuit design; a simple matter of using the design from the car and then buiding in a timer circuit to repeat the pulses.

touch a metal which is well grounded.

Chassis ground, This is to prevent shock or fire if there is internal damage. That is why you do not use equipment with the third prong broken off.

Well, in order to get the new wire on, you are going to have untwist the new wire.  Unforunatly, there isn't a better way of replacing wires.

When aircraft are flying, they build up an electric charge from the surrounding atmosphere.  The tires help to safely conduct that charge to the ground when the aircraft lands.

chip, GT40 air intake, cat-back exhaust, free-flow cats, h-pipe. The easiest thing to do is change the oil to synthetic. Less friction=more power
