If you own a Corvette, there is no better place to truly see what it can do than out on the Bonneville Speedway. The track's surface can change, however, and sometimes the salt can thicken and prevent drivers from racing on it. One of the tracks extends for 10 miles, allowing drivers to push their cars to their limits and see what they can really do.

4. C4 Chassis
Built on a a C4 chassis, this Corvette first appeared at SEMA back in 1989. The very fast-looking Corvette is just as quick as it looks, delivering 1,500 horsepower courtesy of its supercharged engine. The front end works as a spoiler to keep the car grounded, and thanks to the side-mounted supercharger, there is almost no drag.

5. C1 Corvette
Seeing a C1 Corvette is a sight on its own, but seeing it on the Bonneville Speedway is extremely special. This is a 1956 Chevrolet Corvette, and its owner, unlike any C1 owner, does not keep it covered in the garage. Instead, he like to put its very special and not-stock 265 cubic-inch engine out for a day of play at the world famous race track.
