Default Why cant Hollywood make a good car movie?

Hello, I'm kind of green to the posting thing, but I've been reading and learning a while and still trying to piece together my old Camaro.

For some reason, I just wanted to see who all is with me in wanting a decent accurate car movie with some good real exhaust notes, accurate handling, and realistic performance. My wife just laughs at me when I get grouchy about inaccurate things people say and do in movies. What got me started ranting about it was...

We were watching the Transformers movie the other night, and when the yellow Camaro quits on the kid, the girl jumps out, pops the hood and says something intelligent like "wow, a high rise double pump carb" while the engine bay showed a fuel injection set up.

Anyone care to help me think up some more? Here's a few that stand out in my mind. (yes, i realize these are fiction but c'mon)

Fast and the Furious - Nitrous Oxide being the end all be all of blurred vision instantaneos speed.
Gone in 60 Seconds -not too bad until.. launching Eleanor the Mustang to get away from 500 cops
Dukes of Hazzard - Jumping just about everything and landing it
Knight Rider - Watched 30 seconds of a scene on YouTube and realized it was completely terrible.
Almost any movie - people can't take off from a stop without chirping a tire.
