Not necessary. That's the point, it's not about doing it better, it's about not doing it at all. I will say that I only saw the first one (that was more than enough), and if they would have had one, just one real car person on the set that knew anything about anything, they could have cleared up a lot of the bullshit/fake/impossible things they had in there. If I would have been a janitor on the set I would have thrown down my broom in disgust and been like, "Double clutching?!?! Crack welds on the intake?!?!?! Two bottles, the big ones?!?!?! BROKEN FLOORBOARDS?!?!? Guys, guys, guys, what the fuck are you talking about?!?!?!?" Then they would have fired me

I actually have a customer that bought a honda from me that wants to put a turbo on his car because if anything goes wrong, it's just simple driveline parts (motor, tranny, clutch, axles) that can be replaced easy (his own words). He won't put nitrous on the car because he is afraid if something goes wrong parts will fall off his car (floorboards, crack welds in intake, etc.) and his car could blow up. Imagine my expression while he was telling me this. That movie did absolutely nothing positive for street racing, the sport compact scene, or car enthusiasts in general. There are young kids out there that actually believe/believed this shit and they are the future of the automotive scene
