90mph is approx 4600rpm.
Looking at the graph, its somewhere around 310bhp at 90mph / 4600rpm, therefore
Torque = (310 / 4600) * 5252 = 354 lb/ft Obviously that figure could be toooo low or toooo high, dependant on the exact revs that peak torque was made / the guess work in the power at those revs / whether I've got Phil's tyre size right and whether i've got the diff ratio right?
Thats close enough Sketch.......lets just say we've "allocated" him between 354 - 359 lb/ft ... I'm sure Phil will be happy with that
