Cool pic of 350z tach at 8k RPM

Ok, before you get all excited for not much...
I just came across this site
http://www.intelstartyourengines.com
and if I am not totally blind, the pic is from a 350z cockpit? What do you all think?

Kind of funny once you catch the little photochop details:
look at the Temp reading, RPM reading, Speed reading

The reason why I posted it, was that I found it interesting that a large company like intel uses the 350z cockpit to market their new architecture and increased performance at lower power/temperature....

They could have taken a pic from F1 cockpit or some other exotic cars.. But no, they chose the 350z cockpit, which I found kind of cool.

And then they bothered to photo-chop it and bring Temp down, RPM to max, speed to max and change the color tone.

Maybe the marketing guy who is responsible for this pretty professional and commercial website owns a 350z

Maybe its just a pic of BIGBRI's cockpit. Gas is full, cant see temp, RPM is at 8K and speedo is damn near Maxed.

The marketing guy who drives an SL 55 AMG and knows nothing about cars hired a graphics designer who probably owns a Z.

Marketing guy = big bucks

Artist = small fry

Yeah, Intel create it's own marketing. They hire someone. They were probably shown about 50 different concepts and marketing people probably liked the fact that the Z has a nice big tach in the middle. If they had known some cars go to 10,000 RPM + they probably would have gone with something else.
