KITT and KARR?

Post by nivek » Sun Oct 12, 2003 6:58 pm

ok the title really has nothing to do with this question. now that thats out of the way. here is the question. drum roll please. ok the question is

What other changes took place between karr and kitt other then programing?

In other words did they have any reason other then the bad programing in karr to make kitt?

Other than programming, there is virtually no difference between KITT and KARR. KITT's engine was a lot quieter than KARR's was, so some minor improvements might have been made when they were building KITT.

Did KARR have a 2 tv dash or a 1 TV dash in "KITT vs. KARR?"

If KITT and KARR are identicle in "Trust doesn't rust," then it should be the 2 TV. Right?

KARR has got in both episodes the old 2tv dash. in the first episode they just used e faked voice box, which was built in a box or something like this, at this time, KARR had a bar-voice box and KITT just the old quadratic-voice box. in the second time, the met, KARR has still his old Bar-Voice-box, but this time it was built in a dash. but the whole dash was like KITT's 1st and snd season dash. But KITT has in the reunion the new dash which 1 tv and also bar-voice box


so I hope you can follow my school English

Regardless, both voice boxes were on a sound stage, separate from the car, they just made the second one look a little more like the current technologies they were using.

So everyone can see, I have hosted the Knight Replica's image on a local server and edited Dome's post to support this, hope you don't mind.

Regardless of the fact that KARR and KITT modulators where shot seperate from the car, I really wish they would have kept the Voice Box the same. I understand them wanting to make it better looking, because the original version didn't have enough energy to be put in it, however, KARR was a prototype, it was fine for his interior to be different, that could have been another one of the differences.

Also nivek, it's hard for us to really say what the other differences are other than the voice box and programming. If the cars were real, there could have been different systems and chips that were upgraded, that aren't mentioned in the course of a TV episode. Think of KARR as Photoshop 1.0, and KITT as Photoshop 2.0 (or version 1 and 2 of your favorite software app), they are similiar, but the 2nd one has a lot of "under the hood" advancements that improve upon the first.

Thanks for making the picture small, so everyone can see the diffenrence between a chep voice box imitation and a good one. I have never realized in the past, how bad KARR's first voice box was. But last year I saw it first time.

if don't mind means the don't have any problems, so am I looking forward to receive such help. I am not a genius in computer things.

oh by the way, good explanation of the differences between the two cars.
