Yep, part of me suspects it is meant to generate complaints to get further (free) airtime.

Expect it to be discussed by Kochie's Angels around Thursday.

Very cool ad.

Anyone on here own either of the Falcons? Would love to hear any behind the scenes stuff about the making of the ad as it really stood out when I saw it on TV - I think on Bathurst day?

Wondering if they're actually XR8s or 6s with the boss bonnets.

I may have watched it too many times, but some stuff I noticed:

- E1 HSVs for the commodores but FG XRs for the Falcons - FPVs not as common/cheap as HSVs?
- Shell Helix falcon has front Ford badge replaced with XR badge
- plastidipped stock XR 18s on the Castrol Edge falcon, aftermarket rims on the Helix one
- Helix Falcon looks like it took a thump on the passenger side at the back - can see it at 0:21 and 0:25 - part of the filming? looks fine during the rollout from the trailer at the start
- What's causing the sparks at 0:30? Cool visual effect or is that a thing that happens?

Tyres worn through to the belts.

Wonder if it was guys like Luffy and his stunt mates, or if they dug out the old Precision Driving Team guys.

The kicker is that at the end of the day, they all got a pay check as well as getting to drive like that.

Great ad but pity they used a DAF instead of a mighty Ford Louisville. (probably wouldn't have stopped)
