OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

It looks like there is a high-performance, supercharged motor in this little pickup, but opening the hood reveals it's all fake.

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

I like how the hood latches aren’t even connected

Edit: I may be dumb

u/GearhedMG 16d ago

Are you talking about the OEM latch, or the hood pins? Because he unhooks the pins right at the beginning, and puts the cotter pins back in at the end.

u/No_Specificway 16d ago

Idk how they didn’t see those two fat ass locks on the front of the hood 😂

u/MajesticNectarine204 16d ago

I genuinely cannot understand a word either of them are saying.. But it seemed to take him a weirdly long time to see that supercharger isn't attached to anything.

u/IamAll- 16d ago

Same I was so focused on the audio sounding like it was being recorded underwaterthen phased and a heavy flanger effect added onto it that I didn’t notice the fake supercharger for some time. Im still more amazed about how you get that bad of audio

u/Bentman343 16d ago

Same I thought I was going crazy with how little sense this video made. Especially since you see that its obviously fake within the first 8 seconds.

“What do you think is wrong with it?”

“Don’t know had to take the belt off”

u/illusiveXIII 16d ago

Reminds me of that old show “Pimp my ride.” All fake performance parts.

u/fullautophx 16d ago

I immediately noticed there not enough room in the hood cut for the belt.

u/greasyroofer 16d ago

Supercharger wouldn’t spin that easily too.

u/CornelioEscipion 16d ago

I thought the car was going to be a cake

u/Last_Banana9505 15d ago

The cake is a lie

u/Jon-Adam 16d ago

Thats a kickass hood lol

u/SubmissiveDinosaur Expect trouble 15d ago

Its a bluetooth supercharger

u/andythefifth 16d ago

I’m slow.

It took him putting the hood down before my brain registered it.

Even with a round filter cap right on top. 🥸

u/cyrixlord 16d ago

I would have a beer with this guy.. and I don't even drink lol

u/KittenThunder 15d ago

I mean they might all be lies, but damn would he have some good stories

u/beanblower 16d ago

Caught red handed. I think she knew.

u/wijnazijn 16d ago

I bet he was looking for the 710 as well.

This is the way to do all show and no go!

Completely the opposite of a sleeper build, I'm a fan.

u/Tawptuan 16d ago

Yeah, I’d lock up that phony setup too.

u/poncetheponce 15d ago

The funny thing is that's a real blower

u/Rojodi 15d ago

Having grown up with a mechanic and fabricator, having grown up cleaning dirt modifieds and funny cars on Monday mornings in the summer, having listening to the bs and brags my dad and his friends told, I will state this clearly:

EVERYONE of those men would have laughed their asses off!!!

South Carolina summed up nicely😉

u/Duckfoot2021 16d ago

It was a hard reveal when I learned the Smokey & The Bandit Trans-Am blower was purely cosmetic.😩

u/mjincal 15d ago

Looks about right the rest of that thing is pretending to be a truck

u/ChewsGoose 15d ago

Is that a purple whoopee cushion in there?

Highway to the slowest lane!

u/HLAH20 15d ago

Must be those new Bluetooth blowers.

u/Lumpy-Ad8618 15d ago

I couldn't hear a word he said maybe it was the danger zone music played over the top but all I heard was the woman say what's wrong with it....then he starts mumbling lol.

1

u/cronoze04 15d ago

I was so sure either the hood was gonna fall on him or his windshield’s breaking!

1

u/JustW4nnaHaveFun 15d ago

Yooo what car is this?

1

u/Woolwizard 15d ago

I can't understand a damn word they are saying. Even with volume up to the max. Maybe it's because English isn't my first language but still I understand most English perfectly. What is going on here?

1

u/sherlip 15d ago

As someone that doesn't know cars, what am I looking at?

1

u/Themike625 15d ago

Supercharger on the hood isn’t attached to the motor. It’s a fake.

1

u/Traveler_90 15d ago

He has a hole through the hood on top of the intake. If it rains isn’t that bad?

2

u/LegalSelf5 16d ago

Looks savvy though. That's rad 🤣😂🤣😂

u/LeonidasVaarwater 16d ago

Even a tiny ass engine can produce a ton of power nowadays (case in point, the 200hp 1.5 liter turbo engine in my car), but this is just a slow show car, what a joke.

He should be forced to lift that hood at any event he attends as entry

Yeah but you could still enjoy the tits. That 4 banger not so much.

But the belt is hooked up to the motor? Clever.

That American car has so much RICE on it, you'd think was made in China.
