hi everyone i bought my self a trans am http://a772.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/4/l_22fc027e3600d113f5a470e401f2ab43.jpg http://a922.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/61/l_45e0ace6ee4efbb3c240405323cc4dd9.jpg Congrats on the purchase ^.^ The car looks clean! Take care of her ^.^ Is the L69 st...

I think ruling out Ford (or any car) by default because it is no Firebird´ish looking car is an insult to Knight Industries. Trust me... if this new Mustang will suck so much in the action sequences I will be also one of the people that will say... "yes, the nay sayers were right, it was bad!&...

I can see mid to low 12 second quarter mile times on the upcoming GT500KRs... Probably high 11s on the 720+ hp Super Snake... Definitely OUCH. But ouch also on your warranty... With that much power on a chassis that is not necessarilly top notch however, hopefully, Ford will do something about its h...

shinobi, I don't think the Edmunds comparison video is a fair comparison in that the Mustang Shelby is just overpriced. A Mustang GT that is only $27,000 has 300hp and that Mustang Shelby only has 319hp??? A lot of the overpricing is due to the Shelby name. People will pay more for the car just for...

Personally, I liked Rebecca Holden (April)... She was really pretty, especially with her glasses on ;p Plus she looks sexy when she works on KITT with that shirt tied up with her bellybutton showing...

I agree with the title 100%. Even if it's old I think that the K.I.T.T. "upgrade" was completely stupid. They would attract a bunch of original viewers by just using the old K.I.T.T. I believe original viewers will still be attracted despite using the new mustang simply because its a Knig...

Yea ,I have nothing against Japanese cars .They make great cars very reliable. Without going to far into it Kitt has to be an American car and like what was said limited options on the market to fit that bill plus GM wanted nothing to do with Knight Rider. There aren't many muscle cars out there to...

I agree with everything you said. The Mike Tyson remark is classic!

lol.

What should a $40,000 mustang be compared to? A $15,000 civic?

I would hate to assume you didn't notice that my post was soley a reply regarding KR 1's stereotype on japanese cars.

Performance Reality asside, I think the GT500KR being used as KITT is growing on me... Looks really menacing ^.^

A post just for KR 1.... Here you go buddy! Enjoy!

As much as I love Mr. Daniel's voice acting as KITT, I don't think his voice style would go well with such a robust car like the new Mustang GT500KR. IMHO Peter Cullen's voice as KARR would fare better... I wonder if VK will attempt the same voice style as Arnett's for KITT....

I think Mustang fans outnumber OG Knight Rider fans....

F1 hardcore fans are generally elitist, that's why I said that jokingly (notice the lol). Besides, I didn't consider any of the posts in reply to mine as flames... Should I? On another thread I did suggest a celica as a possible candidate for Knight Rider because it looks fast and is actually pretty...

Yes I have seen those Speed World races where the integras are beating the 3 series bimmers, I really enjoy that class of racing it's the most entertaining. As do I. Seeing a car that you see on the road everyday in racing trim battling wheel to wheel with other production based cars is very entert...

I chose the Mustang. The others don't really work for a variety of reasons: Chevrolet Corvette Z06: I do confess this would look super nice, but it can cost upwards of $70K for the standard model, then you still have to modify the thing. It would be cost prohibitive to use this one. The GT500KR (Su...

I'm not knocking on how cool the mustang looks, but like you said, it just looks cool, no functionality whatsoever. The design of the Cobalt SS is based on trend as well... I actually like the Mustang more than the Cobalt. FnF may have been lame/ghey to car enthusiasts like me and you (SR20DETs on a...

Are you REALLY going to make me go back and explain that the design aesthetics of sport compacts are completely different than that of sports cars? It's all about image, my "cool car-blind" friend. Not performance.... image. Ironic isn't it, that the new mustang's design aesthetics is als...

On a slightly different topic, a car that can go 300+ mph should look the part and have aerodynamics and a drag coefficient of something that can go that fast. Though I am open to KITT being the current mustang in the new series, the star car's aerodynamics are not very convincing of something that ...

Hello! Name's Shin and I love the 80's, especially the live action TV shows! Knight Rider being my favorite (I seriously thought KITT was a real super car when I was a kid ;p ) with Airwolf being a close second ^.^

I doubt the public will know the difference anyway, especially on TV. A GT500KR uses the same exact chassis as the base Mustangs (only difference I believe is a modified suspension, bigger force induced motor, and a body kit), so its should be fairly easy to make a fake GT500KR. Just like all the po...
