In case if you haven't heard, John Lingenfelter passed away on Christmas. He was in a coma for the past year from a racing accident.

And for those who don't know who he is, he's a renown corvette tuner who produced some of the most mind blowing street legal (except CA) vettes you'd ever come across.

damm, poor guy, his twin turbo corvette was a beast, too bad he had to go :(

Sad to hear this. He was a great tuner.

I knew he was in a comma after crashing his dragster, but it is still sad.

A man who can make a vette go 0-60 in under 2 seconds and run a 9 something second quarter mile on pump gas is a fine tuner indeed.

R.I.P. John Lingenfelter :(
