Juke-R vs. Porsche

Did you see the "American Muscle" episode where they got over 1000hp out of a Nissan cube and then slapped a GT-R wing on the back of it? If you haven't, you should.

Are you nuts? Who cares about the price tag...$600,000, $100,000....that's not the point of this car. It has the insanely high price tag because it's not a mass produced car. If the GT-R was limited to less than 20 in the overall production, you'd see the price tag reflect that too. The amount of R & D and actual work involved is staggering. To honestly be a car enthusiast and not appreciate that this exist is kind of sad. It's a niche product and not meant to dominate every supercar on the planet. It's an experiment into the "what if"...and the Nissan chose to produce a very limited amount because there was an interest. There's no need to whine about it because it cost to much. It's just a matter of perspective. Check out the Gooding & Company or the RM Auctions and you'll see what I mean. A GT-R might be expensive or fairly priced to you, but bargin basement to a multi-billionaire. I've driven a Gallardo, which is an amazing machine, and it hardly "feels" the price tag when you're actually sitting inside one. My point is, you gotta take projects like this with a grain of salt and a sense of humor.

I guess some people just don't get super excited over fast jukes and minivans and stuff. The X5 M is another example.

yup, same with a turbo civic. Just saying it seems like a slightly better platform (than a juke) to try suping up. Brah!

I bet a 370 will turn more heads then a juke.

I'm not sure why super juke has a defense force. Are you guys really that into turning economy vehicles into super cars?

Troll on lil doggy. If you don't get my point, I'm not bothering to explain because it will just sail over your head into the wild blue yonder.
