Car Expert Breaks Down Car Scenes from Movies | GQ - Zábava
He captured the essence of the Fast and movies perfectly: "It's not a 'good' movie, but it's terribly entertaining."
I like this guy
You must like liars too.
@@rcola6235 lol
@Jarod M because I acknowledge, as he does, that the fast and furious movies are unrealistic yet still very entertaining?
spammasterjay yes they are. have you seen the recent trailer for fast 9 ? its completely ridiculous, the non existent physics in tom and Jerry makes more sense at this point. but here's the funny thing. I'm bring very critic but I'll still watch it😂😂
@@trevoromondi1663 I think I saw part of the trailer, I basically saw John Cena and was like....oh lord 😅 they're absurd films but great when you want to just turn the brain off and have fun!
Me: *Watches video*
"This was another good video"
*Reads comments*
"What a garbage video"
“Car expert”
CZcams users: “OOHH RRLLLY?”
This guy is not an expert.
Anyone who says “monstrous 500 CC”.. cc??? When you move that to cubic inches (how most car engines in America are measured) that’s literally nothing.. if he can’t even distinguish between a motorcycle sized engine to a big block, it’s sad.
@@soulshinobi no way
I remember one time a fake sign language interpreter got on the news to translate about a hurricane. This was just like that.
The car equivalent of the guy at the Mandela funeral
This made me legit laugh out loud
He started talking and i immediately came here and was not disappointed. This guys knows no where near enough to be in this video. You could of gone to your local shop and the apprentice there would know more.
Guy says "shes my future wife"
*Is already married
HotFire S I was thinking that 😂😂
Here in America we have divorce for this exact reason
Tim is an arsehole.
@@garethkalber7236 Lol you rite coz they don't exist in Africa
odeez on1 we also have sarcasm in America. That in Africa yet?
One minute in this guy has literally no idea!
He makes Richard Rawlings look like edd China
ed china would be a quality expert for this
Lmfao. I was thinking the same thing."looks like a 500cc engine". Lol
Perfect statement.
Any real car person looking for literally one second would realize the engine shown to be in bumblebee is obviously fuel injected not carbureted lmao. I don't know about this guy..
He must be a paint/body guy....
Ya... looks like modern Hilborne injection.... not something you'd find in TOP FUEL cars...
My head hurts listening to this guy!!! His knowledge base is terrible and he states so many ridiculous things... like 500cc engine etc...
Lmao ''Those little guys sticking out, those are called _independent_ throttle bodies. Each cylinder has it's own carburetor''. I first thought it looked like ITB's (I as in *individual* not independent lol) but after zooming in on the picture you can tell it's just Weber's on a cross ram intake.
He a poser and a glorified lair.
@@JolleBoiii check out Hilborne injectionn. They look like webers... kind of. But thats what these are Hilborne EFI
I'm learning to be a diesel tech and thought "car expert" would mean I'd be lost in the words he would say, however I was blown away by how little he actually knows..
“Atleast 500cc engine” well bud you’re not wrong it’s definitely bigger than 500cc
Pretty sure he meant cubic inch haha
@@Hypotenuse5 this video was published on 11 February 2020 - who still talks about cubic inches?
Ireneusz Pyc that’s not cubic inch. That cubic centimeter
@@ireneuszpyc6684 People who don't live in Europe. The metric system has some pretty major shortfalls you've got to admit.
@@matthewmosier8439 the metric system's only shortfall is that some cowboys in Oklahoma haven't learnt it yet
Hold up, you're not gonna mention she said, "double pump carb" after explaining the individual throttle bodies??? And double pump carbs have the same size squirters on both primary and secondaries. And finally, After Market distributors are Electronic, without points.
After the first video, You sir, are NOT Qualified to rate these videos.
Agree
Said that whole movie quote was accurate after that as well...🤨
He literally addresses everything you just said.
@@CarrLuke wrong, she says, "whoa, nice headers, you have a high rise double pump carburetor" and then he talks about High Rise-Headers. Also, if he really was a fabricator instead of a business man, he'd know you can put ANY Engine in ANY Car.
yes but about 1998 a distributor was replaced with sensors like a camshaft position sensor and a crankshaft position sensor and coils on each spark plug you got your sensors for timing and positioning and coils for spark. and 71 was the last year for points and the condesor
No, I'm fairly sure that Posi-Traction was just General Motors' name for a Limited Slip Differential. Along with Posi-Traction, there was also Traction-Lok (Ford) and Sure-Grip (Chryser, Dodge, Plymouth)
Posi-traction is an Eaton trademark. Fords also came with it in the 8.8
11:25 he's completely wrong about this scene, positraction has nothing to do with suspension, it's the presence of a limited slip differential which would allow equal power to be distributed to both rear wheels so that it could leave even tire marks left and right when burning out. A standard open differential would only leave tire marks on one side.
I mean the movie is correct about the curb and independent rear suspension, though. Posi-traction is a Eaton trademark for their specific type of LSD which works slightly differently, but accomplishes the same general outcome.
The most unrealistic thing about this video is that this guy is a car expert.
Oh so you are?
I was thinking the same thing he said the engine send s a spark to the sparkplug like no it's the other way around
“I’m a car fabricator” he says 😂😂😂
That engine is huge. Like a 500cc engine. LMFAO
@@amirgencyexitonly5818 I googled the guy, he's a motorcycle fabricator apparently. Just using terminology that he knows I guess, still "technically" correct just using cc as a measurement instead of liter. But yeah lol.... not sure why they didn't just get an actual car expert...
This guys own website says he's not an expert or mechanic lol
This man sounds like a dude who like cars.... but knows nothing...
You mean he is pretentious?
That would explain why so much of what he said is wrong
@@jasonnaef2361 I'd classify it more as 'deceptively incomplete' than just flat out wrong, but yes.
@@-ragingpotato-937 there was some correct, but as an actual professional, there was more wrong then right...
"500cc engine" - the car expert
cubic inch maybe?
cubic centimeter. this is how big the engine is. he knows what hes talking about
Ronnie Martin 500cc is .5 liter, he definitely meant cubic inch
@@clayboi3495 500cc is a relatively small street bike engine he probably meant 500 cubic inch
What a moron...
where'd you find this dude? this is not okay.
What Fast and Furious is not an accurate car movie! I'm completely shocked
Hahahahaha, I liked "a Bently would probably fold in half, it's like made out of aluminum."
Like the first 2 and tokyo drift were probably the most realistic.
@@lars3877 its true,its body is 90% aluminium
@@stripedpants1668 Tokyo Drift was a dream that Vin Diesel was having until he woke up.....
TRIVIA: The R/T Charger used in TF&TF, never had that engine. The motor was a pro race block built for another car that the production team was able to get on loan for about a day for vanity shots, the engine, though 100% real, was never meant for that car. After they got their shots the engine was hauled back to the shop which loaned it out to the production. The sound was later edited in post production. So no, Dom's Charger never made 900 horses of "Detroit muscle"!
Which is why you never hear it whine... No SC sounds. =(
It is not their fault Wired gets all the top talent LOL :P
@spornge you ain't lying
@@WhiteKnightMotogood point!
Even the first car he says 500cc... my first motorbike was 500cc.
Paul Bailey he has no idea lol
Cubic inch. Big difference compared to cubic centimeter (cc)
lol cu.in most likely. my mini is a 998cc hahahaha
Yeah he definitely meant 500ci this guy is not that great.
@@rustzz8 Exactly. He shouldn't have said "CC" then. Should have said "CI" or "cubic inch". GQ editors should have caught that, too.
I mean....cmon man. Maybe the video title shouldn’t say “expert”....more along the lines of “part-time-sort-of enthusiast”
"Guy who has heard of cars before"
Guy we found walking in front of the studio.
Guy that happened to exist within the realm that has possibility of cars occurring in your environment at least 99%.
guy that plays alot of forza and can operate a metal brake.
Or maybe "Guy that works behind the counter at autozone"
first he says those Bentley's are made out of nothing then later he says that it wouldn't flip because it weights 5,000 pounds. what are you talking about guy!
Bentleys are legitimate boats and they have a decent amount of power, I got halfway through this video and had to see what the comments said lmao
nevertheless possible that the chassis is made of aluminium and the car still weighs 3 tons. i must admit, im watching "the breakdown" quite a time now and he is by far the worst "expert" and the only one i've saw so far,who doesn't deserve to get called one.
@@alexv.4371 yeah I agree with you on that he is the only one so far that should not be considered and expert.
He is pretty inaccurate on other things though in this video to be fair
this dude is not an expert
You got the car wrong on planes trains and automobiles.
That's a Chrysler LeBaron Convertible.
I was just going to say the same thing..lol
and the fact that he says it’s uglies car ever!
@@charliebriggs6360 that is reserved to the fiat multipla
The-Rabbit /Easy cooking Yeah 😂
That is not a whipple supercharger on top of Dom's Charger. That's a roots-type blower. If you're going to correct movie factual errors, you better really know your stuff. I realize he had no idea what he was about to see, almost no one can know every part on every movie car and we've all had the occasional brain-cramp so otherwise, good stuff. Oh and virtually everything he said about Bumblebee was wrong.
And why exactly should people believe you over him?
@@nicoleanime400 By all means, don't take my word. Look it up for yourself.
I second that. Lots of misidentification or having a little bit of knowledge and trying to describe the details and missing pieces of it so instead of I don't know we get some errors. Overall 'not good, but terribly entertaining'
I was wondering if someone was gonna catch that! I immediately thought 'wtf is he talking about, that's clearly a roots type."
....i cant belive you haven't pulled this yet, this i pretty serious pile of garbage you're standing behind. You need to call Mike Finnegan (Finnegan's Garage, Roadkill) and do this again.
Not they need a real professional, mike is pretty good but he isn't a mechanic. He's a guy with a camera and a lot of reall fast cars. Not dissing him for it just saying they need an industry expert.

Yeah listening to him explain that if your wheels spin you dont have a lot of torque hmm
Right in the beginning when he called that beautiful V8 a 500cc engine, all credibility went straight out the window. lol
he also blew the explanation of a limited slip differential. He explained an open differential.
Ya couse humans dont make mistakes

@@adammanning7630 XDD
@@aaronkristofer18 Its true tho
This guy doesn’t know cars. He got 3 things wrong just on the first car.
Highrise headers 😆
Like saying the rotor button inside a distributor "hits a contact", no actually it doesn't physically touch at all
@@Samqdf Thats a detail that gets the point across, he said far worse things on that exact same car.
@@googuser3145 that would go above the hood....
@@-ragingpotato-937 I completely agree with you. As an example confusing a multi-throttle EFI system with carbs is a pretty serious screw up. His description of what high rise headers were was also laughably wrong
This guy isn't a car guy. He knows some of the lingo but doesn't actually know anything about these cars.
Cause he's not a mechanic he's a fabricator big difference he knows bodies and how to add stuff to a body but engines and drive trains he not as knowledgeable they should have gotten a mechanic for this bit or just ask him questions about body and fabricated cars on movies
Ok champ you’re so cool.
Idk what’s more concerning, how little this guy knows for being an “expert” or the confidence in being wrong.
Lmao dude got me questioning what I know...hmmm maybe 500cc IS a giant engine
My bike is 1200cc so I must ride a dump truck
500cc is 0.5L, so a half liter engine, impressively huge engine! (The crappiest cars on the road in US are about 1-1.5L engines)
@@seanroland612 lmao didn't even catch that, I assumed he meant 500cid, which he probably did. He was wrong on describing the difference between a "fixed axle" (I assume he meant open diff) and a "limited slip". Both apply differing amounts of wheel rotation according to traction
This dude has absolutely no clue. “High rise headers” 😂😂 “that means the headers go above the engine”
Matt Snyder I like how he pulled that out of thin air when she was referring to the intake 😂
This guy has absolutely no clue wtf he's talking about! She said his rise carb not headers haha he's clueless
Why thank you Mr car expert! Before I watched this video id been putting all of my HEADERS (Big hint in the name) underneath my engine! Oh silly me.
500cc? ...So.. Right up there with a small fiat then xD
"High rise intake manifold" is what megan fox said. A real thing, not what was on that car tho😂
I thought positraction was a form of limited slip diff... Nothing to do with suspension.
Yes Posi is a trade name for Eaton limited slip differentials. The bit about posi and the tire marks is conceptually accurate... but basically Marrissa Tomei was saying a car with independent suspension and posi made the marks. Independent suspension will have a better contact patch with the road..... but a curb peel like that.... may be hard to tell...
@@googuser3145 Geometry in an IRS will allow for skids as even as that. Cause the camber changes as the wheel travels doesn't it? Allowing for an optimal contact patch.
You'll still spin 1 tire the majority of the time with IRS and an open diff. Modern cars get away with having an open diff because they can individually apply the brake to the wheel that's spinning to make the other wheel spin.
@@tsmall07 AKA Volkswagen EDL...
@@aspecreviews yup You'll see Audi and VWs with ESP and ASL (anti slip regulation) both use the EECU and abs to put traction down......
...
And its the best ive ever had... i cloud rev the bag of my passat and dump the clutch in 1st or 2nd gear, with the gas pedal pinned, and it was flawless.
0:50 "500 cc engine" ...lol...a WHOLE 1/2 liter??/ Dats Cray cray yo...way more than my lawn mower!
CI perhaps?
I think he meant cubic centimeters.
@@CorndogCrusader that is half a liter lol
@@enkhmandakhgantulga2554 I'm big dum.
I love how he was casually talking about a distributor cap while brushing past Meghan fox bent over in shorts
Just...No. Some of these explanations were about as real as the F&F movies.
I couldn't make it past him saying Dom's Charger had a Whipple on it...
I was looking for this comment and had almost given up. Looks like it has an aftermarket Detroit blower on it, maybe a 8v71? Not 100% but i know what a Whipple doesn't look like.
@@wafflecone98 A few months late, but I did some digging cause you can see the logo on the front of the blower (9:50). Its a Mooneyham roots supercharger, likely a 6-71 or 8-71.
xPr1m3 haha nice! Glad someone else out here is committed to the truth
Thank God you said this because I couldn’t finish the video. This guy is an absolute moron. He doesn’t know anything. When he said Whipple I cringed so much. I was like “dude are you stupid” out loud by myself like he’s so stupid
my girlfriend knows more about cars than this guy and she can't even change her wipers
Yeah he missed it there... at 13:54 she said there were only two that had posi, independent rear AND enough power to make those marks... Corvair was like 80 - 150 hp depending on the year so it is reasonable for her to leave it out... not saying a Corvair can't do a burnout just saying it would be unlikely to be that model to lay down lines.
Pineapple Express - cars are 18g seal and shooting a car nothing would happen.. Not true, all kinds of stuff can get hit by that bullet and all kinds of things can happen. Most likely, the bullet will hit something electrical and it will start to fail or shutdown. He's right the car will most likely not explode if the tank is hit, but the leaking fuel can get lit by the hot exhaust or brakes.
Yeah, she said weight, wheelbase, and enough power. This guy tried to sound smart naming the Corvair.
Posi-track isn't an independent rear suspension it's a limited slip differential
He identifies a 500 cubic inch engine as 500cc, confuses limited-slip diff with independent rear suspension, talks about double-pumper carbs when the car obviously has individual throttle bodies as part of a fuel injection system then confuses a Chrysler K-car as a Buick LeSabre. I hope GQ starts vetting their 'experts' better......
Aha a my favourite part is when he says a 500 CI V8 doesn’t belong in a patina camaro , I guess he hasn’t heard of restomod/rat rods
Me: GQ
GQ: yeah?
Me: I’m the expert now
To be fair, when he introduced himself, he said he was a “Car Fabricator” but in the title they write _“Car Expert”_
Two different things. But the thing that bothered me was how he spoke so confidently about certain things, that he was completely wrong about. I’m more likely to believe someone that will actually admit and say “I don’t know” when they’re _not 100% sure._
According to the peanut gallery, this man must be stoned.
What stuff was he wrong about

23:35 The second he said "Buick LeSabre," I got sussed out, that's an 86 Chrysler LeBaron convertible-

He did not get most right. Far fewer things were correct with some absolute bone head errors thrown in
Oh jeez here come the internet experts. Right before they move on to watch UFC fights and criticize how they could have fought better.

@@Kingx90 no, that's not what this is. You don't have to be a car expert to know that he got a lot wrong. Much of it was pretty basic.
tsmall07 actually I was watching the Les Stroud one and didn’t realize it auto skipped to this video before I could comment at the end of that one. Lol my bad.
I went into this video expecting a trainwreck judging by the comments, and while its not as bad as I thought it would be, they definitely could’ve brought someone a lottt more knowledgable around the board. This guy seems like he knows some stuff, and probably knows a lot about his specific craft, but he made a whole bunch of mistakes and did not seem to have an expert level grasp of a lot of the stuff at all

"It's only one gear, going backwards, so you don't go very fast."
Unless, of course, you're driving one of the old Dutch DAF cars, which had the famous Variomatic continuous variable transmission, going back as far as the 1959 DAF 600. Which meant that these little cars could basically go backwards as fast as they could go forward. And so it was, once upon a time (DAF stopped making cars in 1975, when their car division was taken over by Volvo; they do still produce trucks) a solid Dutch tradition to race DAF cars in reverse. Which, between it being hard to drive that way to begin with and the fact that driving in reverse at (relatively) high speeds results in rather unstable dynamics, meant that these races pretty much inevitably devolved into absolute chaos.
Can't the Koenigsegg Regera go the same speed in reverse as it can forwards because it only has one gear?
@@zacharycaudle8348 yeah, all ev with 1 gear probably could except the computer would (or should) be electronically limited. The G Wagon had a recall in 2017 for cars that weren't limited in reverse. Idk how fast it could go, but I expect the same speed you could go in 1st gear, since they're usually about the same ratio as reverse

This is there expert? He kinda right . That's a small block chevy with a reproduction of a old 4 webber side draft carb intake manifold on top. Headers and a carburetor is 2 completely different things. A double pump carburetor is a car that has 2 accelerator pumps one the front 2 barrels and one on the rear 2 barrels of the carb . He off about the NOS . Flames on the exaughst is movie magic unless you have a 2 step it will pop flames . Back in the 50/60s they used to put a spark plug with separate coil and points on a old windshield wiper motor it would make huge flames after you revved the engine.
Can you do “Pilot reacts to Flight movies” that would be so cool

It does not have independent suspension. Positrac is the brand name of differential. It is in the subcategory of a limited slip differential. It is now able to install in just about any rear wheel drive car. Independent rear suspension does not mean it has limited slip. It just means the wheels can move independently of one another. Unless the car is at a severe degree of tilt, the tires are able to flex with a conventional differential with the wheels fixed on a single “beam” axle.
fast and furious are just like the MCU movies but for car people, rather generic copy/past stories but really fun and enjoyable to watch
this guy doesnt know what he is talking about for a few things.
Inverse... he got a few things right
He got a lot of stuff almost half right. I wanted to punch him most of this video
The corvair don't have enough power to make those marks though
He got the blower type totally wrong. It's a Roots blower, made famous by GMC two stroke diesel engines. Not Whipple. He gets a whole bunch wrong that a typical expert would not.
The car in Planes Trains and Automobiles wasn’t a Buick Skylark, it was an ‘86 Chrysler LeBaron.
As someone who has experienced a headlight to headlight head on collision...
Yes, the car would mostly spin out
BUT depending the on the weight of thr vehicles involved there can be a moment of lift.
I was driving a Chevy Spark and hit a minivan almost head on and experienced a full second of weightlessness as my car spun into the right side of the street.
Thankfully everyone involved survived the crash, and the worst injury was a broken ankle.
Don't drive when tired, kids.
A whipple supercharger hug. Lol. O thos guy makes me laugh.wow
"Each cylinder has its own carburetor"
Someone who knows engines even a little bit sees that it has individual fuel injection and not carburetors.
Not necessarily, it could be EFI or sidedraft carbs
I feel they’ve could have put any petrolhead answering these questions and getting the same answers. Minus the freedom units of course.
Son, we have done more than 78 MPH on those little tires. Sometimes with more than one. Just gotta have the balls, or lack of common sense, to do it. And in our younger days, my brother and I had plenty of both. Families clipped the balls and added common sense. It sucks to get old!
Car expert: you wouldn’t see that
Me: huh, weird there’s something similar in my garage.
Not an expert, in fact he doesn't know what the f*** he's talking about.
Professional driver here. I've competed in the Blancpain GT Endurance series and the Continental GT series in a GT3 car. As someone who has been tinkering with cars his whole life, let me tell you this: I've taught karting classes to kids who knew more about cars than this guy.
Would gladly re-do this episode if GQ reached out to me
Marissa Tomei explained PosiTraction and Independent Rear Suspension better than him.
Yeah he said at one point that the LSD would allow the tires to spin independently, which is true but not why an LSD is important. An LSD keeps power going to both wheels as even as possible. XD. Yes it allows them to spin at different speeds, any diff does that unless welded or locked in the off road ones.
Way too many mistakes to be an expert.
He seemed so triggered with the fast and furious movies 😂
this guy was absolutely awesome very entertaining to watch
never noticed that in trasformers you either see the car or the engine but never both at the same time
its when an actor is playing an instrument in the movie but isnt actually playing so you see either the actor but not his hands or you see the hands of the musician actually playing but not the face
Always thought about this
You guys need to redo this episode but with someone who’s mechanically knowledge with cars
Cool video, mostly good info, but Bee's engine would be 500ci, not cc, and his explanation of Posi-Trac was way off. A standard solid axle would send power to the wheel with least traction, it would need some form of locker (Like Posi-Trac or limited slip) to make both wheels spin evenly like it was described.
This guy knows as much cars as i know fishing. I dont fish 😂😂😂
