I think so, but it was probably generic sound effects anyway, as in not likely exactly matching the gauges featured.

 

So if this is not the Camaro, and it looks like it isn't, then what is it? Is it a new car? If it is a new, yet-to-be-released car, then it looks like there will be another retro Chevrolet. I'm getting a little nervous.

I don't like the white faced gauges either. They are usually used on sporty vehicles so I wonder if that is a clue to anything. My eye keeps going to that black rectangular object in the dash that is cut off on the right of the screen.

From what can be seen, it looks like there is a lack of style or design. As someone pointed out. It looks like a sheetmeatal dash from a 60's car with modern gauges.

 

With a 6000 rpm redline it must be an ecotec!! Hell yeah retro dash and ecotec power!!




Okay just kidding. Although its blurrly, the ignition key looks squared off like old school GM keys. I'd say its an older car. I hate retro dashes, old camaro, new mustang, even my girlfriends 02 altima has those three deep pods. I hate that, I'll take a 4th gen style any time. My 01 maximas is nice also. KISS

 

I'm guessing its not a real dash at all but a studio prop fake dash they put together just to tape the intro. It looks awfully spartan and boring for a new car dash, but that's what you want for a background image so as not to take away from the players running across the screen in front of it.

 

This isn't it, but its dayum close

I too was thinking that it looked like a prop. Look at the gas between the gauges, with all that empty space. And, the proximity of the steering wheel to the dash seems a bit close also.

 

Viper? Riveria?

 

I think you people read too much into things. I'd say it's nothing more than a one-off dash put together for just the all-star game intro, or perhaps just as a cheap studio prop.

 

Well, I guess I was off on the "3 equally sized pods" thing... it was so hard to take it all in when it was so unexpected.

That steering wheels looks to be modern to me... it even has the buldges at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock from grip... I doubt it's a metal center on the wheel, probably just the way the light is hitting the plastic of the airbag cover.

I really think this is an upcoming Chevy... still possibly a Camaro, but I would still bet it is something coming in the near future. Why go through all the trouble of making a prop dash board that looks so real, and even has a moving tach when you have a showroom full of real dash boards that you could film?

BTW: GREAT JOB posting the pics! Way to come through!

 

Thanks

 

That's an old RT/10 Viper dash. I stared at one for a long time, and I know what they look like. The featureless circle to the left of the tach (where all the warning lights show up), the center gauges, and the air conditioning vents are a dead giveaway.

WHY this is on a CHEVY commercial I have no idea.

Best guess: the ad agency was lazy and pulled some stock footage to pump up the video a bit. Stupid, stupid, stupid. They should be fired posthaste and replaced with an agency that knows cars and gives a crap.

 

Are you sure? Looks different to me... and the tach is on the wrong side to boot (unless the changed the dash at some point on the old Viper...)

Ahh good catch. Mystery solved!

Wow. All this over a goof up from a media company.



Damn.

 

Yes, I was hoping that it was the Camaro, too.
