Re: Forget the Mustang

Garth_Knight is right. The idea of the Camaro being the new KITT has already been discussed to death and while I agree that the Camaro is sleeker, it doesn't matter because it's a done deal. The only thing you can do now is voice your opinion about what car KITT should be for Glen Larson's movie in ...

Re: Shelby KITT Car Performance Stats

But each to their own eh. Tony How are you coming up with 60 g's for the new Camaro when it isn't out yet? I would s...

Re: did you like the nbc kr movie??

Here are comparisons as I see it: If KITT encounters brute force only, KITT with self-healing would be better. If KITT encounters a smart science freak with a pea shooter, KITT with MBS would be better. If KITT encounters brute force and a smart science freak, KITT with MBS still has a slight advan...

Re: Winter Storm = No High Def!!!

My fears came true. I had to watch most of it in fuzzy standard definition because they kept showing cancellations across the screen, taking away the HD! How irritating!!!!! It was almost as bad as having a '60s styled car as the next KITT.

It better be in HD Saturday!!!

It was OK. It had plenty of problems, but was definitely better than KR2000. I'm mad that they didn't have any really cool burnouts. KITT 2000 had much better burnouts in the original pilot than what KITT 3000 had in this movie!!! The builder of the Mustang KITT even complained about how there weren...

While I respect your opinion, I have taken a different direction. I am actually more disappointed in the Mustang than I was when it was first confirmed.

While not absolutely terrible, he did a poor job with the "attack" KITT. The concept drawings of the "attack" KITT look better than the actual car. The front of the car just looks too cheap and slapped on, especially the grill. The double wings look dumb, but that was Belker's fa...

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 ...

I don't have a specific video showing exactly that, but that SAAB team clip does show smoke on the rear wheels,...

Re: Why the cobra on the Mustang...why not Knight

I have to admit, Pontiac (or GM) was just plain stupid to not take advantage of the advertising during the original show. Ford is just being smart about it. If the new KR show is successful, Mustangs (in all flavors) will have a boost in sales. :wink: I'm just hoping that they don't make the brand p...

Looks like a cheap sales attempt to me. That's the ORIGINAL KR music, and not the NEW KR music that would go with the NEW KITT. The car isn't the KR version of the GT500, so it still needs some modifications to look like the NEW KITT. The best (and most economical) way to get a car that looks like t...

It doesn't mean that the Knight 2000 will EVER be voiced by anyone else. It's just that, in the TV pilot, William Daniels is not involved. That means that the original KITT will not have a speaking role in this production, unless they do some alchemy with previous voice/over. Well, like I brought u...

Interesting: The 'dismantled KITT 2000' (if that's what it is) is showing a motor that is 1985 or newer. It has the TPI (Tuned Port Injection) that was used on Trans Ams starting with the 1985 model year. (assuming it was at the same time they started using TPI in Camaros) It's been a long time sinc...

Thanks for the videos, seeker 78. It did open my eyes a little as far as FWD being capable of doing forward donuts. But because it's using non powered wheels to slide the back end with the handbrake, you don't get as much of the entertaining tire smoke. Plus (in my opinion) I would rather see the sm...

Re: KITT car poll PART II

seeker78, I think KITT needs to be RWD for two reasons: 1. RWD and AWD cars perform better than FWD. Cars accelerate faster with RWD because the weight is transferred to the rear of the car during acceleration, giving more traction to the powered wheels. Also, cars with FWD will understeer on corner...
