Nissan Juke R. GT-R powered crossover. At two tons, I'd rather have a GT-R, though.

Amazing.

I liked the comment below where a guy wanted to do that mod to a Chevette and I think that would be perfect to take a crapmobile like a chevette and make it interesting and more powerful.

They have the same streets, similar shots, the green VW bug, but using a woman to replace Steve McQueen is fucken unholy. And it's shortened. Pfft.

Completely OT, but I've been catching Alcatraz on Hulu, but find Grimm more enjoyable.

Male chauvinist pig! Just watched it. I love that they did it with the new Mustang which I think is super bitchen (uber bitchen? bitchen-cosamente?). I still hate the Charger. The big smokey burnouts were cool too. So, yeah, cut them some slack. It's a weekly show :).

Thank god there are still some of us out there...

I didn't like the fact that the Charger driver was scared...Too many burnouts. Change the gears in the rear end? ...Not sure it would've helped as it is a stick with a 412hp. And the shooter missed the wheel hop.I can appreciate what Abrams was trying to do...but I feel it missed the mark. Something that Iconic should've have been more, but like you said it's a weekly show and probably didn't have the budget. When I spoke to Loren he said it was 6-7 weeks when they did the original, obviously with the whole scene.
I had the same Mustang for a shoot two weeks ago...there was no tread left when it went back to the rental place. Fun car, bad brakes...not as raw as I would've liked. However, coilovers and then cross balanced with some Brembo's and I think you are good to go!

Cool. I was just thinking I don't like the wheels they used on the Mustang.
