Joe
Lott is a Corvette enthusiast from the town of Broxton GA. Joe has been
a speed fanatic all his life. Speed boats and Corvettes have fueled his
need for speed since he was a teenager. While browsing the
Corvette Forums Joe succumbed to to his passion and purchased his C5.
Joe tells us that the purchase "was a spur of the moment
thing".
The silver C5 was a Colorado car that Joe immediately tore into in his
quest for acceleration.

links.(that should go down the page a little ways)
A Dewitt
radiator keeps things cool under the hood. Joe uses 80lb injectors and
alky control duel nozzle meth injection to help prevent the system from
self destruction.
An
RPM level 5 transmission rated for 1200 hp handles the power transfer.
It is mated to a 300 mm output shaft and a Kirban short throw shifter.
A
very cool looking stinger hood houses the turbos. The 12 inch rear
wheels and Mickey Thompson drag radials (345/35/18) are accommodated by
Lingenfilter mini tubs. The spent fumes exit via a Borla
stinger
exhaust system.
The
interior is race inspired and utilizes a duel A pod pillar mount with
AEM air/fuel gauge and an E-boost 2 boost controller. A Momo shift knob
and a Sparco steering wheel finish off the speed racer look. Tunes are
handled with an Alpine deck ,and JL 10 inch sub woofers in a stealth
box.
