Also, I absolutely love the exhaust on the second car.
That was make the beast with two backsing awesome!! Never saw the post before!! That is the ad of the year. [thumbsup] Loved the old F1 cars. Reminds me of seeing Grand Prix the movie with James Garner, Eve Marie Saint, etc... when I was a kid. Maybe '66? Made my Mom take me to see it. Dad wouldn't go. [bang] Great old flick and a great current ad! [clap] Makes me want to fill up at a Shell. ;D
I love how the exhaust note changes from a deep, throaty brooaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA

Glad you liked it!
We saw Grand Prix when it first played in Los Angeles at the Cinerama Dome in 66. We're from Argentina...it was a family outing [thumbsup]
And I still have the original program.

Ad of the year when it came out 4 years ago maybe. ;)
Still love watching that commercial though. [thumbsup]
its an old ad that basically anyone who is a "car or motorcycle person" will like if they like engines, if someone can't hear the beauty that is the change of the f-1 cars from the 50s to the 2000s then they really have no taste [laugh]
i love how even the first f1 car in the commercial even though its old has "the sound" that you would expect from a ferrari or a race car.
its cool to hear how the car's rpm as it went up by literally thousands of rpm each decade of car made it go from a rumble to a high pitched whining sound, but it still even the modern cars (with them being v8 and not v12) still sound the way a race car should.
Love it! [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
The exhaust note of that first old F1 is the most epic of wins in a long glorious history of epic wins.
