you are right, it is a damn good commercial and i think burning that the audio from that commercial onto a cd would make a great driving soundtrack.

i loved it!!!

heres a classic one thats been around the net for a bunch of years now

http://web.telia.com/~u36118651/Chauffe2.mp3

First you'll hear a 10-cylinder, 750 horsepower Asiatech F1
engine being warmed up. Then it performs a rousing version
of "When The Saints Come Marching In", to the delight of
assembled pit staff and journalists.

Here's how the magic was achieved (technical/musical details
via F1 Racing magazine):

As we all know, a V10 engine produces five combustions per
revolution at a frequency per second of 60/(5 x revs per
minute), which equals 12/rpm. Therefore, to work out the
revs you need to hit a particular musical note, you multiply
the note's frequency by 12. To play a 440Hz 'A', for example,
you need 5,280rpm. For 'C', use 3,139rpm, for 'F' 4,191rpm,
and so on.


Asiatech's French technicians (the engine, despite its name,
is derived from a Peugeot design) simply programmed their
engine to run through the various rev/note ranges in the
correct sequence. The result is delightful. And think of the
possibilities - BMW's F1 engine, which howls all the way to
19,050rpm, could rip through the entire Hendrix songbook.

Even better: imagine a massed NASCAR choir performing "The
Star Spangled Banner"! Being eight-cylinder engines, the
frequency per second would be 60/(4 x revs), which means
you'd multiply the note frequencies by 15 instead of 12: 'A'
would arrive at 6,600rpm, 'C' at 3,923rpm, 'F' at 5,238rpm,
etc.

crazy commerical the sound is gereat but i'm sure after a long enough time it would get more annoying than most. other thing is if you could even get that sound cops would know you long before you did anything wrong.
