The 2.3l has 258 ft-lbf of torque. That's not bad, considering that Audi gets about the same torque from a 2.7l biturbo. Similarly, the Saab 2.0l (SE) gets 209 ft-lbf, while Subaru gets 217 ft-lbf from its 2.0l WRX engine. However, the Saab torque occurs low in rpms, while the WRX has its highest torque at about 4k rpm. That's amazing!
