Seems like a lot of people don't feel the 0-60 number is all that important, prefering the 1/4 mile times. To me, the 0-60 time is the more important one. I have no intention of driving over 100 mph. But I do plan on getting on the Highway everyday, the 0-60 times tell me how easy it is going to be getting up to high way speeds on short ramps etc. To me it's more relavant than the 1/4 mile times. The other stats I look at are the slalom and skid pad, which should give me an indication of handling.
I'm happy with the 0-60 time of 5.5 My only "requirement" was to be in the mid to low 5 second range. Faster would be fine, but I can always get there with mods, so I'm good with where it's at.

For me, if a car breaks into the 13s in the 1/4 mile its definitly a keeper :P

Power doesn't drop off in higher gears. Most dyno runs are done in 4th gear. However, above 60 mph or so the power to weight ratio or an AWD launch becomes much less of a factor because the primary force acting on the car is aerodynamic drag, not the mass of the car. That is why ultimately the MPH at the end of the 1/4 tell you so much about the true HP of the car.
