I'd' love to see a cheap 4x4 challenge in Moab or the Rubicon trail.

Or a Cheap Pickup trucks challenge as someone already mentioned.

Vector WX8 Hypercar (2,000+ HP)

I want to see Top gear America test the Vector WX8 Hypercar. This is a real piece of work from the look of it. Vector claims that the car has 2,000 horsepower and can reach speeds up to 275 MPH. That's faster then Bugatti's new Veyron. The hypercar has a 10 liter or a 7.8 liter engine. The 10 liter can go from 0-60 MPH in 2.3 seconds with the dual turbo charged engine. Or, you can get the DUAL supercharger on a single V8 block that produces 1,450 Horsepower. Who the heck has ever heard of 2 superchargers on a single block? Sounds dangerous.......they should drive it to it's maximum speed of 275 horsepower and see how Bugatti reacts. Mind you, that when Shelby Ultimate Aero beat out Bugatti's top speed record, Bugatti built the Veyron Super Sport. So, lets see if the American still have it.

Wanna see someone do something with the car I have (80s 300ZX)

But I think I actually saw a pic of em using that against a 500ci Cadillac and a thunderbird or something, so mebbe I'll get to see it after all.

Also some under-rated things, and some real POS cars. For under-rated, I'd love to see some unusual things get a track lap, like a Ford Escape or a Chevy thingthatlookslikeasmallsuv, or even that 3 wheeled motorcycle thing I see them selling everywhere now. For some of the POS things to use in a challenge, I'd recommend the 4 banger 80s Camaro or Fiero. or any Cavalier or Grand Am.

I want to see a special along the lines of what UK did with Australia, the "ashes special". But instead of just USA vs UK, I'd want to include Australia, and maybe the Germans.....

You know they are going to have to do a TG head to head thing with the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger. They could do it using the new models (2010) and maybe go back in time and do it with like 1969 models also.

K-Cars aren't that terrible. They are cheap and fairly reliable.

To be honest, I think its good to show the world that we like our cars, but I don't want this to be the muscle car hour. I'd rather see some more rare cars in the states so that people here get to see new and unique things and learn a bit more about car culture in general, instead of "so this year, the mustang/camaro/charger/challenger has more power" over and over.
