Default new GTO comercial wrong

Well over the past few days seeing the new GTO comercial - the one were they are buliding the motor - has anyone else noticed that they are putting the head on upside down? I thought I saw it that way the first time, and finally got to see the ad again tonight to make sure.

It was mentioned on one of the GTO specific sites. I didn't pay enough attention to notice, I have only seen it once and was trying to get a feel for the ad. That's what they get for having some CGI company who doesn't know cars do the ad.

I don't think they are a threat to LS1 F-bodies yet. From what I understand, they only have about 250hp. Correct me if i'm wrong. Not trying to bash here. I also heard that some of them have 300hp. I don't know for sure. Either way, the 4th gen fbody should prevail. That's until, or if, they put the LS2 under the hood.

They were tested to a mid 13 sec 1/4 mile by MT and C&D.

So far there has been one 'posted' dyno test seen and an A4 turned 291.3 rwhp and 312.7 rwtorque bone stock. The car more than likely barely had 500 miles - if that.

Geez, why did you go for the Z06?? I mean if money aparantly isnt important why not just get the even faster Viper? or Ferrari?
