To hype the new 2004 GTO revival, General Motors Pontiac has created several TV ads in it's "Fuel for the Soul" campaign. Along with the voice of actor Samuel L. Jackson, the GTO commercial "Engine" features a familiar piece of syncopated classical music. The track is "Mars, The Bringer of War" by Holst, and is a long-time favorite for use in movie trailers. You may also recognize the theme from the Oscar winning soundtrack for the film THE RIGHT STUFF - composer Bill Conti used "Mars" by Holst as a theme in the film.
