Talking Dell should be voted off the GT3 island

Look at his post from the turbo forum:

I bounced between my car and my buddy's GT3 this past weekend on track and I didn't realize how "lame" linear power was until I was without my boost. I'd mash on the throttle in the GT3 and it felt like I was accelerating in a 4 cylinder honda


Shame on you Dell! And then you come here and cry about how much you miss the GT3..

Drama queen !

After all those years of defending a fellow '6er' on Rennlist... Turncoat. I need to go for a a ride in my "Honda" to cool off... Dell can go play with his boost gauge...

Hey, wait a sec. I was under the influence of boost. If it makes it any better, I said that I would trade up from the Turbo to a GT2 so it's not all that bad is it?

I admit, the semantics were a bit off but you have to admit that jumping out of a Turbo and into a NA car it can feel quite flat. I did point out though that the GT3 is soul stirring. The Turbo just ain't even in the same league when it comes to my soul.

Maybe I'm just sofa king bitter than Joe is having as much as he is in the LVDell Speed Yellow Special. Yes, I do still miss her

Please forgive me and don't snuff out my torch

I'm very disappointed. Looks like Dell is looking for acceptance from whichever subforum he is posting in at the moment.

Dude, really, comparing a GT3 to a Honda? Ban his ***!!!

What can I say. You take a hit off the boost pipe and you just start talking crazy a$$ ****

I need to go to therapy............maybe Scott will trade cars with me for a week to set me back straight?

I am still voting to keep you. But I am baffled. I have yet to track with a turbo I couldn't pass - 6 or 7. My car just hauls the goods down the straights. I am not doubting there are some fast turbo cars out there (I just chipped a Cayenne Turbo to 600HP & 750 Ft Lbs of torque yesterday) I just have not tracked with them I guess. But I believe 'ya if you say so.
