Actually you kinda need something to hold onto the end of the 3ft bar to get that torque otherwise you aren't at 3ft. You probably don't weigh exactly 200lbs either, but I won't mention that.

The other issue is idle engine torque: take something that needs 500 lbft torque to move, hook it up to one of them 600lbft trucks, dump the clutch in straight drive and it stalls. Hmm. Come to think of it, it will stall not hooked up to anything. My F250 Supposedly has 530 lbft at idle, so how come when I forget to downshift at a stop sign it dies? So really it takes about 5300lbft torque to idle start my truck in first gear.
