I’ll see if I can get something together for this tonite that’s also lore friendly.
arrrh I just realized the price was BEFORE factory tooling ect. B*&%#Y H*=L my entry is going to be very low spec’d lol.
it’s ok, mine was a design i had used before, so at least one person is with ya (yes ine is under 20K after factory specs lol)
##1963 El Govnor LX
This is Your entry-level premium sedan, America.
Take a good look.
It’s got fully-adjustable seats with a little extra padding, and will sit 5 adults comfortably.
It has a big, bold, chrome grill to show your boss you got class.
###Yet, refrains from over usage of chrome, as you don’t need to be flashy to be classy.
Yes, the American Eagle Automotive badge is on the hood, sure to give you that edge in your neighborhood.
We even have champagne gold as the standard color.
Power steering, so you don’t have to work while you cruise.
###And that purr…
That’s the purr of a 273ci Small Block V8, ready to move you at the touch of your toe.
…But that power is nothing, without something to put it to use…
So we equipped the LX model with 205mm tires all around…
…and a soft suspension to soak up all the rough road.
So cruise in style, the style of the wealthy, with the El Govnor LX
Only $17,600* at your local American Eagle Automotive dealer.
*price (as of build 151211) includes 10% Markup from the factory, but price does not include any fees, taxes, or shipping costs.
(yes it’s a “cheep” premium car under-powered with a small block V8 and crap for breaks (even though they are disks!) But it somewhat surprisingly scored high in Family Sport Premium, and Family Utility Premium among others.

Wow. That is truly a stunning vehicle.
I will be quite difficult make a series of challenges where all this car can perform well, without give an advantage to newer cars…mmmh…
Some statistics: the less powerful car have 100HP, the most powerful one 885HP; over 75% have a crossplane V8; from 2L to 9.6L displacement, some convertibles, some SUV but most car are sedans or wagon. Only one car have 40 valves, 80% are natural aspirated cars…from 1953 to 2016…wow, it’ll be tough…

I’m sorry to everyone, but i’m a human (for the most part) and i often make mistake, if you find an error, send me a PM or reply here, i’ll change immediatly. (I’ve manually copied every number)
Also, some names are missing, if you want to include it, just tell me somehow.
It’s not a problem, everyone makes mistakes, I am yet to get the courage up to make competition of my own
Tonight, a family car tested, another family car, a boring van…
Welcome to Top Gear, tonight we’ll try to find the best V8 family car of all time.

Here the contestants.
##1999 Galt Automotive Kyaria SP1
###4L 227HP 17000$
One word: BOOORING, a normal van, 7 standard
seat, a lot of space inside. But wait, can you hear it? Is a rombling sound of
a 4L V8, with 227HP and an awful economy rating….
##1996 FSO Hussar V8 Combi
###3L 176HP 14000$
In 1997 this was the best selling sport wagon,
why? Very good performance and decent comfort at a quite low price. A V8 for
everyone. Plebeians
##2016 Bell Lexarion V8DHe
###4,4L 264HP 20000$
The newer and more expensive version of the Hussar,
the real premium sedan, WOW, so exciting, much power.
##1987 Erin Berlose Lex+ 2.6
###2,6L 146HP 16500$
A living mith, in the 80’s all the petrolheads with children dreamed of buyng one of this, cheap to mantain, fun to drive and pretty good looking, only one drawback: NO POWER AT ALL
##1967 Peotoskey Romero SE
###7.1L 246HP 15000$
HORN SOUND, please make way for 'MURICAAAAAA. An extra large ship, with an helipad on the trunk and space for spare engine under the bonnet.
##1953 ECV Rune FT
###2L 100HP 10000$
The granny, the oldest of the lot, stilish interior, a classic body but wait… where is the power???
##2016 Adenine Valence Sport V8
###3,5L 370HP 19500$
370HP under the bonet, breathtaking acceleration, but with a battery chinese stereo. Who needs music when you ha a
V8?
##1991 Bogliq Fox GT300
###3,5L 246HP 19500$
If you are confortable to let your children sit on the engine, this is the car for you. P.S. there are no space for toys here.
##2013 AEM Superbia

885HP Cubed, sorry, in a cube, with a massive 10L engine.
##1978 H.A. 455 E

Can you hear it? It’s the Mafia sound, some say if you buy this car you receve a free Tommy Gun.
##1960 Routemaster Tourer Refitted
###3,5L 227HP 20000$
What the hell they have done here? A new block in an old car? Really, i can’t get it. P.S. I love suicide doors.
##2009 Izen Ildor V8
###4L 289HP 15000$
Large and heavy, i don’t like the plastic interior, but it’s useful with child 
##1978 Roadship 547 LE
###9L 781HP 12000$
Oh, what a day! What a lovely day! Witness me. (Mad Max reference) A chrome car? Seriusly? Roads? Where we are going we don’t need roads (ok, i stop, i’m sorry) but we’ll need a ton of fuel (2km/l 5mpg)
##1969 ANZ Motors Buzzsaw 2.8v8
###2,8L 95HP 12000$
Have you fastened your seat belt? Yes! U DON’T NEED THAT, it’s a death machine.
##1988 Storm Star GX
###3,4L 363HP 19500$
Remember to tie you child to the seat, it can fly away at 250km/h. Plus you have all the space for cargo you need, the sky is the limit (litteraly).
##1985 F Wagon Traveller
###4L 201HP 12000$
One of the biggest engine of the lot. It looks so small in here. P.s. remember to purchase a stair to get on board.
##1963 Eagle Automotive Co. El Govnor LX
###4,5L 192HP 13500$
Bling Bling baby. You know what’s the most purchased mod for this car? Hydraulic Suspensions. Bouncing Hydraulics. And big subwoofers.
##1998 Mive F1
###4L 289HP 20000$
It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s a van. At 300km/h (200mph). Expensive, but soooo good.
The first envelope:
After the break.
