uh... any piston engine in the world

Nissan 350Z: 287hp, 274 torques
Chevy Corvette (C5): 350 hp, 375 torques
Toyota Supra: 280hp, 318 torques.
Mazda RX-8, 247hp, 159 torques.

see the discrepency?

Well, it has a low PEAK torque, but a really flat torque curve (i hope) So it really shouldnt be a problem.
