Jim hit the nail on the head!

I would like to add one thing. Hollywood is in the business of entertaining people. That means exaggerating something normal to peak their interest. Us gearheads get all wet seeing a twin screw blower because we know what it can do and the feeling you get inside the car. Most people have no idea and to try and get that feeling through film alone would be next to impossible so the next best thing is to exaggerate it to that point so that anyone can feel that same feeling even though the actual experience isn't the same.
