Currently have a saab 9-5 aero maptun stage 3 circa 280bhp/440nm its quick but my addictive personality disorder always wants more!

I like the torque surge as teh turbo kicks in, not interested in racing other cars or handling i just want huge torque that sits you down when you boot it.

I have considered tuning the saab further but the biggest limiting factor is the gearbox and that thing that kills them is not big bhp but torque which is what im after!

so im considering getting rid and getting something with big torque for overtaking and just the grin factor.

1st things that spring to mind are e55 AMG'S and m5's, The amg has more torque but less bhp and while the m5 is undoubtedly the better car i don't need that great handling or great revving racy engine although it is still a car i will consider.

im basically just after something with the biggest torque that will push you back in your seat for around 7k, the car will also be my daily driver so no light weight kit cars etc wobble

Like i say the e55 amg and m5's are top of the list at the moe but is there anything else to consider?

Monaro, perhaps? Not sure if they've fallen into budget yet.

Some kind of loony tuned Skyline?

I bet an xjr will fall into your budget, although I reckon that you already have one of the best pounds per bhp motors out there.
