It is a hilarious video! I think most of us have wanted to do a test-drive like that when the salesman rides with you. I hate that.

100% faked - salesman is an actor. Gordon is not even driving. So disappointed, I thought it was awesome when I first watched it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, but I thought it was obvious it wasn't Gordon driving. Totally staged. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Jeff Gordon, as talented of a race driver as he is, isn't going to be doing precise 360's and hairpin turns on wet pavement around other cars, or flying up loading ramps. That was a stunt driver they used. Besides, I thought it was obvious it was staged by the camera angles they used, especially when he just about wiped out a car on a public road.

Too many cameras in too many convenient places, that was the giveaway, and the fact they never show Gordon driving the Camaro while performing a stunt. The salesman also was not convincing.

Same hype about that Fiat 500 commercial from a couple years ago that showed Jennifer Lopez cruising through the streets of Detroit. I spotted that immediately that she wasn't driving, even though the entire commercial convinced you she was driving in her 'hood, in Detroit, acting cool. All the shots of her driving were close up, and the shots of the car cruising the ghettos of Detroit had the Fiat with the windows up.

Jennifer Lopez wouldn't come within 40 miles of Detroit, let alone be seen driving a Fiat 500.

And Jeff Gordon would never be doing stunts like this for Pepsi, especially considering he's worth several million dollars to NASCAR, Pepsi, and Hendrick Racing.

Funny commercial though, but I thought it was quite obvious it was staged.

That was excellent! If you really want to see Jeff Gordan's Talents, google him singing the 7th inning at Wrigley Field, oh boy?
