I never said that a car chosen to be KITT must be FWD.

Yes, I do realize the plainly obvious fact that RWD can give you more precise steering, and therefore make it easier to do common stunts, especially at high speed.

What I am saying, however, is this: I don't want to exclude cars that do look remarkably kitt-like, in my opinion, just because of their drivetrain or the size of the engine. Those are things you cannot see from the outside of the car. The Pontiac G5 or Saturn SC-1 don't become "family cars" or "compact sedans" because they have FWD.
GM refers to the Pontiac G5 as a "coupe". The 1982 Trans Am was also a "coupe".
Having said all that, I also want to make it clear, I plan to watch any Knight Rider movie produced by Glen Larson, regardless of what car is chosen. I also plan to watch at least the pilot of the Knight Rider series from NBC.
btw, here is a video on youtube showing stunts with a FWD car:

here is donuts with a FWD car:

So, as you can see, the idea that a FWD car cannot do stunts is one of those "urban legends". Based on what is shown in the first video, I believe the handbrake is being used to do donuts on a FWD car in the second one.
Live Long and Prosper...
