Sorry but I'll have to disagree with you. I browsed the online rulebook and all
I found resembling your opinion is the following:
<BEGIN QUOTE>
ARMOR
Both Runners and Challenges may have Armor, indicated in parentheses as
A and a number (for example, A2). Some Gear cards can be played on a
Runner to modify his Armor Rating, or to provide unarmored Runners with
Armor. Armor provided by Gear cards is indicated two ways. The first is
as A + a number, for example, A + 1. In this case, a Runner with Armor
increases the rating of that Armor by 1, and a Runner without Armor
receives an Armor Rating of 1. Armor provided by Gear cards may also be
indicated as A and a number (for example, A1). In this case, the Armor
provided by the Gear is not cumulative with any other Armor. If a
Runner has Armor of A1 and is holding a Vehicle card that provides
Armor of A2, the Runner is protected by an Armor Rating of 2.
<END QUOTE>
Now all this says is that the armor of the vehicle prevails over the one of the
runner, not that you get to choose. Maybe there is a ruling that I don't know
of, but until there I'll stick to my first opinion, Torgo's armor is bye bye...
