But this car is still made for public roads, right?

With proper gearing it's fine. My two street cars have peak torque numbers at 6,200 and 7,500 currently and both are just fine on the street. Yes, it takes a different style of driving (no shifting at 2,500RPM or expecting to pass in top gear as fast as a car with torque) but it's not a big deal at all.
