I hate throaty V8 sound effects coming from a car which doesnt have a v-8 with dual exhaust. Oh yea and the burnouts from every car that takes off from being parked.
stupid movie car scenes

actually the car companies are playing with that idea. i believe the only problem is how to rourte the air when not using the charger. matter of fact VW has an engine with a turbo AND a supercharger. off the line it uses the supercharged and for higher rpm it switches to the turbo. they are using a 1.6l base (maybe a 1.2l) and they said it feels more like a 2.5l L4.[/quote]
i read in (i think) car craft the when the made dukes of hazard they had rhys millen do the driving scenes with the car sliding around on the dirt roads. well hollywood has become so pathetic that in order for the real car driving to look real they had to slow down the film!
That's one think I like about the Dukes movies, was that the stunts were real. Watch at the end how many times they had to launch the general in the air to get it land just right on the crowed highway LOL! That's how it should be done - F that CGI crap, I want to see REAL cars in action especially Mopars! (NOT the g-bodys) 😀

Actually, the supercharged 1.6 liter engine in the MR2 had a clutch like that on an A/C compressor.
And while we're talking about stupid car scenes in movies, how about Diamonds are Forever? There's a scene where James Bond, driving a 73 (?) Mustang, puts the car up on two wheels to fit through a narrow space between buildings. Unfortunately when they show the car coming out of the alley, it's on the other two wheels!

yeah they already have that out. we had a scion xB (the boxy one) in the shop with a 1.5 supercharged 4 banger. you can drive without the charger or with it. there a 3 or 4 different power levels that u can choose from on a dial. the thing is a serious rocket!! supercharged tin can...
Well, Toyota did this on the original MR2. It had a roots supercharger that was switched on and off by the ECU back in around 1988-90. Also, Nissan produced an engine with both a turbo and a supercharger in other markets. It was in the Micra and a 0.9 liter engine. I believe the engine code was MA09ERT. (MA is the family, 09 the displacement in liters, E is electronic fuel injection, R is supercharged an T is turbo.)
Id have to say in any movie where a character doesnt know what they have. Ive seen countless movies where one will say they drive a old peice of crap car, and its a freakin restored classic. Or even if it isnt restored, a classic car with a little bit of paint missing isnt a peice of crap.
Like the Transformer movie, the kid wanted it because it had racing stripes. Not because it was 77 Camaro.

Yeah, and the scene where the Camaro's hood was open and she said it had a double pumper on it when it was an individual runner or Weber setup of some sort if memory serves. (but she can go under my hood anytime and I wouldn't car what she got wrong...)
I got one
How about in TRansformers when the girl pops the hood on the '76 Camaro and starts talking about the carb and engine like it is an engine that belonged in that car, and then they show a big buck LS motor with fuel injection and none of the parts referenced (would have fit in better in the '09). If that engine was in that car the Kid was a car thief and a tard, call the cops.
The seen was supposed to show the audience "look this girl is cool she likes cars and knows alot about them". I walked away thinking this girl is full of sh*t, and this guy is just playing along to get a little.
P.S. How about when they have cars that are not period correct. Watch Dazed and Confused. It does a pretty good job with the cars but in the payground scene with the girls there is a Trans Am with IROC wheels that were not released for 7 years
