Only? 
Yes only. If I had 800hp I would want at least 700ft-lbs of torque. 
560 ft/lb of torque is more then enough for that car...for just about any street car for that matter. Also massive torque comes from cubic inches not little hi-reviing 2L 4-bangers, 560 ft/lb is awesome for the 2L. With 700 ft/lb of torque the car would probably be useless.
