Chevrolet has aired this TV ad in the United States about how it had to reduce the power on the Corvette ZR1 to be fair to the competition - BMW, Ferrari and Porsche. The 30-second spot says GM had to restrict the car's supercharged, 6.2-litre V8 by more than 75kW to make it eligible for the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race. What it doesn't say, however, is that a Peugeot won - and two BMW's came in ahead of the leading Corvette in the GT class.
