Don't you wish your average C5 accelerated that fast?

Cool commercial, but why couldn't they advertise something cool like Gatorade or something?

I'd be willing to bet if you ran into a wall of gatorade bottles you'd tear the crap out of your car. I think that was the point of this commercial. But what do I know. Doesn't everyone's C5 accelerate like that?

I think they were the European version -- any confirmation out there?

Got to love those Europeans!!!!

As for the gauges, maybe they just blacked out the logo due to licensing issues?

Too bad it would be banned in this country for advocating reckless driving like the great but short lived C6 commercial with the 2 kids flying through the air in new Vettes. Political correctness

You are exactly right my friend. We have lost our collective minds in this country. How the heck did I manage to grow up and live these 63 years? I didn't wear a helmet riding my bike and used to get into fist fights after school! We ate what ever we wanted [fast food] and didn't even wear sunblock at the beach! We rven played outside after dark!
