The only thing you can do is to ignore torque and looks at road speed on the X -Axis for comparisons.

The power figure will be correct, but the torque wrong.
Scaling for horsepower and torque appear to my eyes to be about the same. Maybe the torque scale is a few percent down from the power scale -- the hash marks don't quite line up with the numbers on the torque side.
