The new twin-turbo 3.0 liter BMW has 300 lb-ft from 1300 RPM on up. I haven't driven one, but I'd say that a 1300 RPM start point on that plateau of torque would put it up there with "Saab torque". I've also read that, because the turbos are small on that engine, high-end boost drops off a tad. At any rate, I'd love to drive it.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy my manually-shifted 9000 Aero.
