[zooguy]

:shame::(

[AChotrod]

WTF????????? Its not even close to April 1st, stop messing with us. Also would you still be involved in the shootout or are you calling it quits? This is very very sad. :(

[n2ocamaro]

Kyle, you too uhh? :(

[Tarheel'Z']

anybody got 30k i can borrow?:drool:

[Phstratton]

:shame: I'm stunned......wtf? No, seriously.......wtf?

[Joker Z28]

Man what a car

[Fastbird]

WHAT?!?!?! Kyle you're kidding me! You better give up a damn good reason for this or I'm going to deep six this thread. :D

[Phstratton]

WHAT?!?!?! Kyle you're kidding me! You better give up a damn good reason for this or I'm going to deep six this thread. :D

Lol you're not the only person waiting on an explanation. I can imagine it involves an LS1... >.>

[Phstratton]

Kyle McKenzie (http://www.facebook.com/kyle.m.mckenzie) Wow, sorry everyone LOL! Not sure on what exact route I'm going but it will be something a little newer that Amanda and I can both enjoy. The formula means a lot to me but I don't want to turn it into a race car or spend the money to get it there.

That's from facebook.

[zooguy]

:confused::disagree::shame:

[AChotrod]

I really hope this doesnt effect the shootout :cry:

[Formula383]

Hi everyone! This won't be affecting the shootout...so you can relax. ;)

If I could have 2 toys, I would do it in a heartbeat but I can't. I have enjoyed the Formula immensely! It was the first car that I can say I built. I learned a lot and achieved a lot of goals I thought I never would have achieved. My decision has nothing to do with speed or power or ET's or anything. I'm just interested in a different kind of car. I'm not prepared to spend the money it will take to get my car legal and safe to go down the track being as fast as it already is and I don't want to ruin the real street car feel it has. I don't know if or when it will even sell but I have to try. I made myself a promise a few years back to always try and follow my dreams. Without that, I may have never built the Formula.

It would be awesome to find someone in the LTX community to take it over but I know it's not for everyone. Just keep in mind the price is definitely negotiable and you can feel good about knowing where to get a hold of the previous owner when you have questions.

[BLK95-Z]

Damn I wish I had 30k to blow :cry:

This is one of the most well known LT1 powered cars around, I hate to see you sell it Kyle but I understand. Good luck with the sale.

[ZGOBYBY]

MAN... oh man. Are you serious? I hope this is all for the best for you Kyle, you truely have one of the best LTxs I have ever seen!

[ZGOBYBY]

Again, too... I hope you find someone within our tight-knit community who will keep it a prevalent piece like you did. Beautiful car, and it is totally worth every single penny.

[AChotrod]

Glad it wont effect the shootout, but it is still a very very sad thread. :cry::cry: I understand even though I KNOW you will regret it moments after someone hands you that big stack of hundo's.
Good luck with the sale!

[Speed Inc.]

wow! another guy selling one of the nicest LTx cars.

I am planning to list mine once I fix a couple small things. I too have other things in mind and 2 toys do not work for me either. The thing that sucks for us guys that have these very nice car with lots of money in them is getting what they are worth.

Yeah, tell me about it. My car has been for sale for 2 months and everyone that calls about it wants you to give it away. I am already giving it away at $8,500. Not that my car is quit as nice as yours and Kyle's, but I feel its a nicely done car and in great shape for 15 years old.

[Speed Inc.]

yes all cars like Kyles, yours and mine will take the right guy..the guy that has sourced building a car an realizing the deal that most can get on a complete car

[SexyTransAm]

ok im willing to offer my black car, a hand shake, and a really big hug. :D

Exactly. Maybe things will pick up after the holidays.

[Formula383]

For those who care...

I think I may have been a little hasty on my decision to sell the car. Honestly, with the new baby and holidays approaching I hadn't driven the car in almost 2 months and I was a little discouraged about not being able to go to the track or take it out to the local meets. I didn't have any time to work on it and it seriously bothered me. Anyways, now that things are getting back to normal again I think I'm ready to finish up the things I need to do and go get that 9 second slip I've been gunning for.

Sorry if I disappointed anyone looking to buy it but my gut is telling me to hang on to her for while. See y'all in September!

[Badhawk]

Wow I almost missed this thread. Kyle I hope you and Larry can find some happy medium and keep your cars, they are some of the finest looking, running LT1's in the land.

[CamaroGirl]

hoorah! :taz:

[BLK95-Z]

Glad to hear :claps:

[Fixxer99TA]

See, all it takes is looking at it a few times and you feel guilty about even thinking about it all over again :D

"But whos going to love it like I do?"

[Prorac1]

Im confused. Eitherway, glad to see your keeping it. Eric L

[1FASTSS]

Well, I missed this since I have been lazy turning 40 and spending a bunch of time with family and firends...sounds like Kyle is gunnin for 9's and Larry still wants a retro LSx build...:devil:
