OK, I saw this ad when it was posted on the other thread, and something about it is bothering me...

You can see that both cars are on a slight downhill incline.  When the new Challenger pulls up to the light, there is a shot of both cars from the rear, and you hear the engine rev.  But the wheels (and the car) rock forward and backward.  Then there is a shot from the front, and the wheels are stationary, before the new one pulls away.  Why is the car rocking backward?  Maybe it is supposed to be brake torquing?

I understand that their intention is to have the 'legend' look at the 'new guy' and laugh at his youth and energy (like Oldschool said).
But for some reason it seems disrespectful to the '70 to me.   :2cents:

Wow that purple Challenger is an exact copy of my car but I don't have hood clips, nor the rear spoiler. Still a nice looking car.

The fact the FC7 purple driver was laughing without even trying the car off the line shows that the '08 is NO match for the tried and true '70...

Guys, I am sure, very sure that the 08 would take that 70 in the commercial. It was done very well by the classic not racing as was said.
