its a simple adjustment of contrast/brightness with a blurred, or motion blurred background

so use the pen tool to select the car then adjust the brightness/ and or contrast of the car then hit reverse selection and just do a simple motion blurr or normal blurr on the background.....

simple

Pretty sure I know what you are saying...I think that you are talking about airbrushing. And I am certain that there was some sort of that going on in that picture you posted. BTW...very cool photo, where did you find that Jim?

Anyone know how to make it look like you can see the engine with the hood shut, or seeing through parts, examples such as superstreet shoots, and this http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1398104 its like the fourth one down

That could probably be achieved if you had the camera on a stationary point and took 1 pic with the hood open and 1 with it closed, then just put the closed on top and erase part of it and blend it so the engine bay shot shows through.

Yeh, I tried doing that, but I got tired, because it was like 2 in the morning..

I cant tell you exactly how much, thats gotta be up to you and the picture.

I would play around with brightness/contrast first, then levels, and finally hue/saturation if need be.

T ! N for that picture if you want the wheels to look like they are turning, select around the tire/wheels and go to blur and radial blur.

The effect i'm talking about makes it look like it was almost painted realistically?

yeh, this picture was crop from a larger image, thats why it's a bit blurry.

I think i know what you are trying to say. Removing noise will make pictures very smooth.

PS. long as you start of with a decent pic of you car in the right light and clean as shit

If you want the blur affect I would stick the car on another layer then just motion blur the back ground in the direction of travel.

Photoshop CS2: I used the magic wand to select everything, except the car, then used motion blur. Of course the wheels are not spinning, so that takes away the realisticity of the image.

After selecting the background, use blur. To get the diffuser to be light like that, use the blending tool, and blend it with the color of the road.
