I hated the Juke when it came out and still really can't stand them, but every time I see a video of the Juke-R (GT-R swap), I get such a laugh and respect it. The ultimate sleeper.

Just hilarious. The build of this vehicle is very impressive to follow too. Can follow it from their FB page.

So wrong but oooh so right. I want to do something similar with a Munstang and an old Bronco II.

I like the Juke and love the Juke GTR. I saw where Lambo is making another SUV. It's pretty sexy, nothing like the rambo lambo.

Just goes to show what happens when you get 1 driver that has a go, and 3 rich kids that don't want to scratch their expensive toys.

Not saying that the Juke wasn't impressive, just that the others were not trying, or not good drivers.

I think it was more about the track layout...

...with all the 'twisty turney " bits.

I'm pretty sure my old 63 Mini Cooper could hold those guys on that course...

...but one good straightway...WWWWOooosh..they are gone!

This layout was like a square city block. Your run-of-the-mill rallyX inspired car would dominate that. Pretty sure a stock STi and Evo could have taken those cars.

I followed the progress of the build for the Juke-R and trust me, there is NOTHING Juke about it. I mean, NOTHING. It is quite simply a GT-R crammed into a tubular frame w/ custom molded Juke panels. I LOVE IT.... just not the Juke. :p
