There is always QAGS ;-) You could always use Whoops! to remove some
of the skills that he is relying on for sleazing. Nets, Gut Check and
other "non skill sleazable" cards are a good idea to. Since it sounds
like your games are rather drawn out I assume you have a lot on your
credstick, adding in pumpable challenges might be a good idea for the
"bottom of the stack". (BTW I think our longest game was a 4 man that
took a little over an hour.)
I would try a challenge stack like this:
1st: something to trigger an alarm
2nd: something to remove some runners (back to the safehouse or out of
the game)
3rd: something pumpable to inflict a lot of damage on the remaining
runners
Back to Torgo though. You could play Wanted! on him and and go after
him that way. Swapping out a couple of mages/shamans for some "meat"
might not be a bad idea either (if you don't have the samurai, and
mercs in there already).

Actually, in this case, since the Yamaha is a vehicle it is prevented
from being used on Indoor challenges. The special ability could be
used, but the bonus to armor can't be.

Add a decker.... Wanted! is uncommon. Depending upon the body of the
decker, adding your own Bar Fights and Riots might work in your favor.
More in keeping with the "flavor" of the deck, there is always
Tempest (it's a rare though :-( )

Yes
Just my $0.02
