Yeah, they're decent for a low powered or tall geared car.  About the same
as a good street tire - maybe better for 14+ second cars, definitely worse
for 12 second cars due to the sidewall not cushioning the shift.  Way better
than R1s for drag racing.  Not as good as a Hoosier - at least from what
I've seen with a local modified RX-7.
