I wonder how they "estimated" the power peak to be at 6500rpm just by driving it...I don't think you can quantify differences in acceleration that accurately just by "feeling" it. The estimated specs are obviously full of shit.
To answer your question, no, I don't take these numbers seriously at all. No way a car like this has 170ft-lb of torque. But it's fun to play with the numbers when you have nothing else to talk about haha
