There's that irritating - at least to a car person - movie cliche that so many film makers seem to feel the need to use. The hero/protagonist is in a chase or a race, and the bad guy/rival pulls alongside him; the hero looks over at the rival menacingly, then shoves the shifter forward - or yanks it back - and guns the throttle. The revs go up about 3k RPMs and he speeds away. It's usually accompanied by a quick camera shot of his foot jamming a throttle to the floor. It's cartoonish and horribly cliched.
