Bull. Shit. That's 85 ft-lb/L, Ferrari territory (89 with the 458), and Ferrari has fancy continuously changing profile cams and a complete disregard for noise and fuel economy. With 7400rpm redline max power comes at about 7000 probably, which someone computed to be about 150ft-lbs at that speed. Max torque isn't going to be much higher than that, 160 at best I think.
