Coolest K.I.T.T. Rival Vehicle In Knight Rider?

Hey guys, I was wondering what everyone's favorite enemy vehicle is throughout the series? I'm sure most people's favorite is K.A.R.R., but there were other cool vehicles during the series that can be considered characters in their own right, just like KARR.

Goliath has the Molecular Bonded Shell and massive size, the Juggernaut has a battering ram, while others like the modified Ferrari in "Knights Of the Fast Lane" rival K.I.T.T. with speed & style as opposed to weaponry. Besides KARR, these other vehicles can be destructive, but I decided to include KARR in the post anyway.

My question is intended to judge these vehicles more by overall threat to Michael & K.I.T.T., not only their capabilities. The options are with the corresponding episode(s) which they appeared in no particular order. If I forgot to mention any signifigant cars, feel free to include them.

*I was unable to remember the car used in the episode "Custom Made Killer"*

I think that KNERD would have whooped them all. LOL.

Why isn't he on the list. :lol:

Seriously, KARR was equally matched and maneuverable to KITT.

I'd have to pick him.

Haha...well mainly because it wasn't an enemy to K.I.T.T. Also guys, keep in mind that if KITT can be destroyed by these other enemy vehicles, that means K.A.R.R. can as well.

K.A.R.R.

Evenly matched yes, but K.A.R.R. has the advantage of being a baddie. Bad guys always pose more of a threat because they will take more chances.

Most Knight Rider fans would probably pick KARR from the list because its the only one with a personality and AI. I pick KARR as my first choice of most destructive and lethal villain followed closely by Goliath.

Wow I'd say it's a landslide...I knew I probably should have left KARR out to see the next runner up. I agree with all of you though, KARR can think for himself. I'm pretty surprised no one voted for Goliath.

The 4X4 in Hills Of Fire. Why? Because it can crawl over a boulder unlike Kitt.

I voted for goliath cause it was the very first time kitt was dammaged,
when he became vunrebel ( spell if u know what i mean) . Kitt was
supposed to be indestructable yet we saw him taken out.

Just a correction.

The Ferret was a unmanned military test vehicle equipped with a warhead. The Ferret appeared in "The Wrong Crowd" where the semi was hijacked.

The hovercraft didn't have a name. The hovercraft also was a prototype for the military made by Lowe Industries.

Those are two of my fav episodes. I really like the dramatic music when the Ferret is chasing KITT :D

--------
I picked KARR since he has an AI and also has most of the features KITT has.

Has it ever been discussed why KITT didn't try and disable Goliath's engine??

Officially I'm gonna say KARR. The battle at the end of KITT vs KARR still gives me goose bumps to this day. Since they were so evenly matched it was really interesting.

Unofficially I say KRO. If you think about it you know from TKR that they had to have scrapped (how do think KRO and Jansen were stopped the first time). This offcourse is all speculation, but you gotta admit that battle would have the potential to put the end battle from KITT vs KARR to shame!

Makes you wonder who would have won. Maybe that would have been season 5's standard KITT get blowed up, rebuilt and kicks butt season opener.

I, myself also happen to prefer K.A.R.R due to the fact that I have only seen him Goliath, the remote controlled thunderbirds and the ferrie. Sorry if I misspelled that last word but I never could spell it properly. All of the other ones I don't remember seeing. So I geuss that means that I haven't seen them. But like I said I happen to prefer K.A.R.R.
