Knight Rider Ford Mustang Shelby Specs - Old Trans Am KITT vs. New KITT - NBC - David Hasselhoff - Popular Mechanics

INJEN78 · 12-31-2007, 05:33 PM

thats badass...id rather the new kitt. be a camaro though but hey it works

MadMaXXX · 12-31-2007, 06:05 PM

new kit looks like a fucken transformer

i must say im displeased

CRX-YEM · 12-31-2007, 06:36 PM

Fuck the new KITT, how can you make a movie called knight rider without the main character KITT a Trans-Am. This movie is now marked for failure I have no interest in seeing it now.

Celerity · 12-31-2007, 09:31 PM

The Banshee was the shark jumper of Knight Rider (Knight Rider 2000... remember the optimism?)

This new thing is another ford commercial.

801CRX · 01-01-2008, 12:20 AM

I like the OLD KITT

801CRX · 01-01-2008, 12:31 AM

Check this one out...

^^^WTF?

Black Widow g2 · 01-01-2008, 12:31 AM

No grappling hook? No GRAPPLING hook? Oh, fuck... epic phail on the new KITT.

I could have barely tolerated it with normal sized wheels and without the ricer second wing. Those two things are the straw that breaks the Hoss'es back.

Taco15 · 01-02-2008, 08:16 AM

wow...... mpg is classified but thought to be 200....in the 80's? They def. didnt see the gas inflation coming.

wheres the front hood lights? gottag ahve the lights.

ohh and is it me or did they make a ford look like a dodge? Looks like they could have saved some money by buying a dodge charger and putting a body kit on it

see, thats another thing wrong with the new kitt; the lights dont fit on that monstrous grill of the mustang. even on the above (accord?) there is a thin strip of the grill that is just perfect for the lights

Yeah, but the real test is, will it pass the California smog emission test?

This is the dumbest article ever written. It was written by a 10 year old and fact-checked by a 4 year old.

300 to 0 in 12 feet. such assery.

Inertial dampening!

Celerity · 01-02-2008, 01:32 PM

So with Knight 2000, "Viper" and what ever other shit was out, producers STILL think that this hero-car shit is going to work ?

Battle Pope · 01-02-2008, 02:05 PM

Those wheels are hideous.

NickBeam · 01-02-2008, 02:13 PM

That mustang looks good but I think the should have used a 98-02 WS6, Those were some of the best looking transams anyway. With some mods and all black it would look killer.

Well yes, but I have no doubt that Ford paid a handsome price for the new "night rider" car to be a mustang.

Money =\= Common sense

92civicb18b1 · 01-03-2008, 04:17 AM

I like the wheels, they're just too big.

Dodge copied Ford, IIRC the "new" mustang hit production before the charger.

thats what i was thinking.

ohh well, i guess GM ran out of money after the Transformers movie.

Either that or they know the movie is gonna suck

92civicb18b1 · 01-03-2008, 08:23 AM

I hated the look of every Trans Am ever built.

Taco15 · 01-03-2008, 09:14 AM

yeah but at least they would have kept it real. i mean the original Kitt was ugly as hell but that was Kitt. The ws6 are way better looking than the old ones anyway.

They should have use the same mustang on e transformers. That was a bad ass mutha.

True, but again, its all marketing. The movie producers reached out to car manufacturers to see who wanted to have their muscle car as the new Kitt.

Since GM no longer offers a muscle car, and does not want to promote something they no longer make, the offer was eaten up by Ford.

Marketing > Kitt

get_nick · 01-03-2008, 11:18 AM

Price New: $45.6 million, as tested
Acceleration: 0 to 60 mph: 1.77 seconds. Standing quarter mile: 3.87 seconds
Braking (300 to 0 mph): 12 ft.

Tv fails us all. why can't they even make it a little bit realistic. at least the Bond cars are a little better.
