Torque has very little to do with MPH in the 1/4 mile, HP/weight ratio does.
The redline (from a previous article) for the Z06 is 7K RPM's.
If it makes an honest 500 HP the car is good enough for about 125 MPH. But much like the Viper, Ford GT, etc. it could be underrated and may be making a few more ponies.....

my 96 gts put out more torque than that thing. what's the redline on it?
