I'm not disagreeing too much, as dragstrip times on non daily driver tires don't mean much to me since I drive my car around on the road

and no, I'm not going to wait for someone to go home and bolt on some dr's to have a race.
But at least dragstrip times mean something ... that is if two cars line up next to each other at a dragstrip from a stop you can see who wins in a 1/4 mile race. The 60-130 means absolutely nothing as far as racing, because there are no real world conditions that are remotely close to what it is measuring (since they floor it from whereever and only count the 60+ part). Can you get a rough idea of horsepower from it? Yes, but that's what a dyno is for ... and along with weight you get a fine estimation of acceleration ability.
