Default Why was the thread closed about slowsrt and the vette?

I really dont understand why the srt-4 vs vette thread was closed. The sheer amount of posts prove the interest everyone has in it. It generates competition which is an inherent part of owning a fast car. Were not all gonna agree with each other and thats ok....i thought. No one is forced to go in and partake, they choose to.

slowsrt dont forget i raced you too dont say the vette was the only one

Its obviously gonna take something faster though

Dont wait too long.

Dude if you didnt see the video you were close to 60 when Josh first hit it.

If you talk too much like it will be close he will run race gas and not have a passenger.It can get extremely dirty.

I didnt say you said you could beat him either.
You dont have a chance...as long as you run a stock motor.

ON the srt4forums.com you said that if you would have the jump it .....let me quote you. Again.
by a ta with 93 oct, heads, cams, and 200 shot. <---thats what he said he had. But it didnt help we went from a 50 though. So i couldnt even have a least a jump. I have that on vid too. I will race him next from a 60 for revenge.
You got the jump....and need to giveup on any kind of revenge/chance at any roll.

i didn't close it, but after just reading the last few posts of that thread, you can look at posts #8-14 of this thread and thats pretty much why, except in this thread it was petty and playful arguing which is fine....but the other thread it got stupid and annoying. threads like that get locked b/c they serve no purpose, even in the tx section.
