And to translate that so you know both torque and horsepower at both rpm ratings (according to the equation you gave us yesterday):
6250 rpm: 215 hp 181 ft-lb of torque
2750 rpm: 96.9 hp 185 ft-lb of torque
Here are the stats for my car, a 2001 Honda Civic LX sedan:
5300 rpm: 127 hp 126 ft-lb of torque
4800 rpm: 104 hp 114 ft-lb of torque
All calculations have been rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures (which in all cases happened to be 3).

I should clarify. Those are the stock numbers for my car. I do have an after market exhaust, and a few other things that was done when I bought the car. I have not had it dynoed, but I assume it makes a little more now.

Man, looks like I’m the low man on the totem pole, but I got an ace up my sleave — 35-40 miles to the gallon. I can go 500 miles on my 13 gallon tank.
HA! TAKE THAT TO THE PUMPS!
