Maybe I will do some math later but I think shifting at 6500 should keep you right in the power band with a close ratio 6 speed, so it should be plenty torquey when driven properly. Of course this still all depends on the weight. 170lb/ft in a 2800 car would be pretty lame I think.

I think it shows more that the guy who wrote the article has little clue about how engines work.
But I also think that it could hint at someone leaking the real BMEP number...
