I'm convinced it's real.

Uncle Drew!

This is the 2nd installment (somewhat) of pepsi max's prank viral marketing. They rocked it with kyrie irving and I think they rocked it here too.

I don't know how they could have did they without the guy suing Pepsi saying he endangered his life. I would like to think it's real but I would say probably not.

And the salesman seemed very fishy from the start, sort of pushing the guy into the Camaro even when he said he didn't want the car. No salesman would do that. He should have directed him towards a different car. Unrealistic.

Wait, there is even a debate as to whether or not the "salesman" was an actor? It's no question, of course he was an actor.

Yeah that's sort of where I come down on it. Nice to think it's real, but I think Pepsi's lawyers would have had a shit fit.

Even before watching, I bet you my life savings that it's 100% staged, fake, and hired actors.

Lawsuits everywhere. They even fake simplest & harmless sweepstake wins by 'average pedestrians' because of the fear of something going wrong and injuring themselves.

10000% fake.

[edit]
lol, even the sound effects of tire screeching are fake. It's the stock sound.

I'm thinking it was fake but still good.

I would react the same way even if I knew what was going on lol. Being in the passenger seat having no control can be a little scary.

This and the Uncle Drew skits are fake, completely staged.

But they're still fun to watch.

This article hints that the stunt work wasn't done by Gordon, so it must be fake:

CONCORD, N.C. - Pepsi has unveiled the video it shot at Troutman Motors and Philip Morris here in Concord in February.
The video, which is promoting Pepsi Max, features NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon in disguise taking a test drive of a new Camaro.
Gordon takes the salesman for a wild ride through the Troutman Motors lot, into Philip Morris, including racing along the top of a loading dock.
Racer Brad Noffsinger, who works with the Richard Petty Driving Experience, did the stunt work for the production.
The video was produced by Gifted You, a division of Will Ferrell&#8217;s Funny or Die company. About 75 people were employed during the shooting of the video.
