It's top torque is something like 160ft-lb, but I doubt I'd use it for anything beyond the Porsche 120-130ft-lbs or whatever they are (I look it up every time). BMW, Audi/VW are all 90 to 100ft-lbs.

FWIW, the Tekton I linked is 25-250 ft-lbs.
The lower range Tekton is 10-150 ft-lbs. With most cars speced somewhere between 85-110 ft-lbs, it should be fine. The Camaro (like most GM trucks) is 140 and I have a (perhaps silly?) reluctance to use tools near the ends of their range when there's a reasonable alternative.
