new car ?

[sandyt]

ive run my 9000 for a year nearly and now need something with a bit more grunt ( presently 9000 cse) so am thinking turbo . used to have jag xjr so i need to find a quick car but also the one with the most torque advice please and an idea of cost

Got to be the 2.3 Aero manual. 344 Nm std, a fair bit more with an Elkparts chip change for £332

I've got a std one and its quick, not off the mark, but when its moving it goes well.

the 2.3 aero any preferable year or model ?

Anything MY94 onwards is good. Avoid models with TCS if poss.

[andycannon]

Depends on how much you want to spend ? I have seem some late models Aero's up near £8K.

They do seem to be the model to go for.

I couldnt stretch to an Aero, so bought a LPT 2.3 manual, which was considerably less than that, then spent apprx £1500 modifying it, which now gives me a little more grunt than an AERO, but, at the moment not the handling, nor the lovely seats that come in AERO.

Or a 1998 2.3T Anniversary, that comes with the TD04 turbo 225bhp engine too

PS, don't worry too much about TCS, I'm down to 2 with that now and they don't cause any problems.... where's that wood.

why not spend some money on the car you have? i have a 9000 cselpt. maptun stage 3 = 276 bhp and 370nm torque.

sorry, i did not read the question properly, you need a turbo first.
