FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW my friend of many years Mike Yeager has passed away... i drove by to check on my friend to find the police and the hazmat team there to recovere his body... sad for me getting off at 11 pm.... He was the most real corvette guy i ve ever known... he loved the corvette, he loved his customers, and never minded spending time to help them even if they werent paying customers...... i started doin cars for him 25 years ago.. it was a 78 with flared fenders.. then his 98, then his 02 Z06, then his 06' Z06... the Z06 made 998 HP on the rear wheels.... incredible.......

Never met or talked to Mike, but have heard many good things about him here on the forum. Sad news that he passed away and may he RIP. Prayers for his family and friends.

Yes it is Mikes car tuned here in upstate s.c. then detuned in florida with his dad.. And it doesnt have the LSX block in that car FYI.. Hope all is well with it and your having fun.... It put down almost 1000 rwhp but he passed before we could finish the car.. good luck... Joey
