Photo of the day: 650bhp Corvette Z06 in the mountains

You ought to be familiar with the Chevrolet Corvette. Its legacy stretches back 62 years, while its place in a world of Porsches and Ferraris feels as relevant a topic as ever in the age of rampant internet debate.

Top dog of the 'Vette range is currently the Z06. And its 650bhp, 650lb ft, 3.3-second to 62mph spec appears all the sillier when you realise it sells for little more than a 300bhp-skinnier Porsche 911. Here's a rather juicy blue 'un taking a blast up a mountain road somewhere in the US of A.

Good work, America.
