How did Brian blow out the floor plate in his car? - Table on Wooden Plank

In The Fast & The Furious (2001), during Brian's first race with Dominic Toretto, he engages the NOS and the car has a burst of speed. During that burst, the front floor plate of his car comes flying off.

Would something like that seriously happen to a car? If so, in layman's terms, what would cause it?



Best Answer

As per the Movie Mistakes factual errors listing this really couldn't have happened:

During the first race a square plate on the floor falls off Brian's Eclipse. The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a unibody car; the frame and body are built as one solid piece, and it does not have floor pans. While some racers might put a steel plate in the interior as a finishing piece, it would be cosmetic only and not part of the vehicle's structure.

It's one of several unrealistic things in the franchise, but it's great fun to watch so well worth it anyways.
