torque is not only for low gear and hp is not only for high gear. if your car goes from 6200rpm to 4500rpm on a shift you will use both hp and torque in all gears. these cars are still building good torque @ 4500rpm and good hp higher. if you shot shift in to second you would use the 280 ft/lb of torque much better than the 265hp.
