I don't find it ANY more impressive to run times N/A versus power adder. I think it's just a preference thing. To me a bone stock 5.0L running 11's on a huge nitrous hit is equally as impressive as a built motor turning the same numbers, so long as both are equally reliable and driveable. Once you start talking 10 seconds and faster, I don't care what you say, it takes knowledge, skill, and money to get there, and I respect that in any way, shape or form. Anybody who thinks they can "throw" together a 10 second combination is going to learn a lot of things the hard way.
7 seconds or less is still way beyond my realm of imagination (as far as driving the car), I have huge respect for anyone running these times, all motor, turbo, nitrous, or blown. They are definitely putting in a lot more effort than your average or even involved enthusiast.
