That statement makes no sense to me ?? Of course its more impressive to do it N/A ... it takes more thought, more planning, more care, more money, more talent, more experience and its far more challenging.
If some guy takes a Briggs and Strattin out of his lawnmower and somehow through incredible ability and insight, and 1000's of hours of his time, finagles enough horsepower out of it to put it in his car and make it go 11.00's thats far more impressive to me than somebody going 11.00's with a greasy old 5.0 that they snatched out of a junk yard, and spent one afternoon stuffing on a monster supercharger and a huge nitrous shot. The first way takes incredible talent and knowledge, the second way takes a little basic knowledge and a fat checkbook. Thats my $.02 worth on that subject
