THAT WAS SICK ,,,,,,,,

 

= having to replace very expensive seats due to non-removable pee stains...

Awesome.

 

I didn't see that one coming. AWESOME!

 

Here I was wondering why those dumb ***** were standing in the tunnel...the new Mach V of course.




Nice sounding car and I love the look of it.

 

great Jumpin Gehassafat! What A Passing Lane! Who Wants To Try That Next?

 

Just love that car!

 

video has been around for a while, but still fun to watch.

The original video had Michael Schumacher get out of the SLS at the end (insinuating he had been driving). Then when everyone put up a stink that it wasn't him driving the whole time, they changed the beginning of the video and shortened the end to reflect a Mercedes DTM driver.

 

somehow I doubt that was even remotely close to real
but its advertising...

 

It probably wasn't to bad. I think cetrifugal force would have sent most of it into his helmet. As long as the visor was water tight, he should not have had a problem with the seats.

 

No, you got it backwards. The centrifugal force is pushing out, towards the "road", which is what is holding the car to it. So it would have gone into the seats.

 

It's on the internet so it has to be real!

Regardless, quite possibly the coolest car commercial ever and the coolest car this side of the century mark besides the Crossfire...Alright, so it's just a smidge cooler than the Crossfire.

 

I am with you Rudy, just has to be real.

 

Sweet! I want that exhaust sound on my SRT-6.

 

I know, it's unreal.

 

I've read somewhere that the aerodynamics are so good on a "CanAM car that they would be capable of doing this, not sure about the SLS.
But with the speed the car is travelling, maybe it has more to do with centrifugal force than anything. Or simply movie magic.
Either way, it's a cool commercial.

 

Exactly. It sounds bad-a$$!

 

I looked at the movie, second-by-second, to weed out the BS...

If you notice, he makes a hard turn right into the wall right at the ramp... if he kept this turn throughout the roll, at a given speed AND with a very carefully calculated length of the 'loop', it just might be possible. Constantly turning into the loop could keep the G's in the right direction, just long enough to keep him planted. If the total length of the corkscrew was any longer, he would most-likely fall, because the acceleration of gravity would exceed the lateral G's pushing the car into the roll. It seems that just before the point at which gravity would win the battle, the car has passed the upside-down section and is returning to a "tires-down" direction. Just like when we humans jump into the air -- there's the initial energy that we exert to surpass the pull of gravity, and then the top of the jump where our force EQUALS gravity, with gravity finally winning.

It may still be wonderful editing, but I can't help but exert wishful thinking, hoping that it was indeed possible.

 

nope, not buying it....as soon as he topped out, he would be on his top....straight on loop is possible, but not that angle....
