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.</p> I should clarify. Those are the stock numbers for my car.

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).
