Grand Moff Joseph Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 What I find the funniest in those ads is the impression of speed that the commercial leaves you with. I think we all know just how "fast" the 3.1 is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfangd Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 its nice to see an older w- commercial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottster Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 It would be funny if they did a new commercial with the same insanity of these commericals. I'm sure alot of people forget how "cheesey" marketing was not that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 What I want to know is why in the GP commercial does he shift from 4th to 3rd like he's some cool dude? I mean, maybe a 3-4 shift but backward? No. Uncool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 He may have been shifting to pass on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggar Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I never saw those ones. But I do vaguely remember the Chevrolet one "heartbeat of America" If I remember right I think it opened up with a Chevrolet Celebrity spinning it's wheels.

I mean, maybe a 3-4 shift but backward? No. Uncool. Yea...that's a desperation move to get any last vestage of power out of the engine. When trying to pass going up a hill...it's 5 to 4...and then last ditch effort from 4 to 3 while trying to maintain 50 MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
