Wait, I think we are all off topic. What a Chellenger? I know that the Challenger is, never heard of a Chellenger

Umm... I'm not into racing or anything but why is the car rocking back and forth when he is reving it up?

It would have made more sense to have it twisting side to side, not back and forth. Must be a lot of play in the drivetrain to do that!

Yup, twisting would have been way more accurate. My Cutlass get some great torque twisting action when I hit the gas hard. Absolutely love it.

Isn't it rocking back and forth just due to the power trying to thrust the car forward, but the brakes are holding it back?

Every car I've owned you can feel a bit of a 'push' when you hit the gas even if you have the brakes depressed.

Makes perfect sense to rock back n forth to me.

Agreed, and at least you could actually get a hemi in the old one, not a semi-hemi like the new one....

I think they focused too much on the drivers of the cars, rather than on the cars themselves. Especially since most car commercials don't even show the driver at all.

It was the engine mount. It must have been broken...........jk

An engine mount in my 77 Chevy Caprice Classic broke and when I'd powerbrake, that car would seriously shift over lifting about 4 inches up. Everytime I'd hit the gas, that car would lift up and rock.
