Re: Which 'most' earns your respect?
For me its forced induction. Just the intimidation factor of having a big *** turbo hanging off of each cylinder bank of a V8 is enough to earn the respect from most.

I agree that 600hp on an NA motor is impressive, but I would just love to see the reaction of people when they hear a V8 with turbo 
. But thats just me

A high hp NA car is impressive, but they're usually very peaky. I like a nice broad hp/tq curve that a turbo produces. Not to mention you can make some very disgusting power with a big inch small block and a big ole turbo, and it can be done on pump gas.

Re: Which 'most' earns your respect?
Yeah, mine's "peaky" from about 3000 rpm on up. So "peaky" in fact that I can roast a set of Michelin Pilots at any engine speed with a quick stab. 
Having owned just about every configuration short of a turbo... I say N/A is most impressive. Superchargers and turbos are all about dollars. I'm most impressed with NA cars with little money tied in them (great setups) that put the big dollar guys on the trailer. But that's just me at this stage in my life. I use to like the big dollar stuff too.

Best bang for the buck. Very impressed by this product. For about 1/4 price maybe less you can go just as fast as the other conventional blower heads and cam ways. Bone stock ls1 can go high 11 on a 150 shot with decent tires for around $600. That's impressive to me.
