The Mustang GT makes 320 ft lbs of torque with its V8, your Impala makes either 205 or 225 ft lbs with its V6. Most cars with a V6 have 200 - 250 ft lbs of torque, and V8's typically have more than 300, there is no real range.

I think it should be noted that it is extremely unlikely that there will be a 370 ft lb V6, its just way too high.
