Default Yeah, he runs 11.0's.... Naturally Aspirated!

Just wondering.

Why is it that a friend of mine comes up to me and tells, me, "I know a guy with a Mustang that runs 11.0, [and here's the supposedly amazing part] naturally aspirated" and then shakes his head "yes" and looks at me in a way as if to say "not blown, not bottled, but "N/A" as if that is such an amazing feat whereas bottled or blown is just cheating or worthless. Any car that runs an 11 1/4 ET to me is impressive, but to think that it is more impressive to run 11s N/A, than blown, or bottled just doesn't make sense and irritates me. Show me a N/A car that runs 7s at 180 mph and I'll be "impressed"...
