This car would look great as KITT

Post by krfan1 » Wed May 21, 2003 11:40 pm

Sorry, don't mean to start arugments or anything again on what type of car KITT should be nowadays, but I saw this and immedately thought of KITT by the way the wheels are

Don't be afraid to post for fear of starting an argument. It's more freedom of opinion and speech that this board needs.

I think the corvette is officially drool-worthy. I'd take it in a heartbeat.
As a staunch KITT-as-Trans Am guy, though, I'd still prefer him in the black t-top. A late model Trans Am would be hard to top.

Oh, i know, I just remember this topic has been talked about many times. I agree with you wholeheartedly, I am also a T/A guy (though Corvettes are neat looking) and this one reminded me greatly of KITT.

It kind of reminds me of KITT's conceptual cousin. Whereas KITT gets his sleekness through long, angular lines, this vette is very swoopy and almost arousing to look at. I guess you could say it's his lady cousin, and boy, what a lady it is....:)

Too much information, a car? Arousing?

I'd like to post a picture of a Knight-inspired concept. Anyone know how?

Haha...yes, arousing. Just look at those curves! It's full of organic forms. It screams youth, life, and vitality. Very sexy, oh yes... :lol:


aussie, a good way to post a pic is to place it on a host or site and put a link to it here. All you have to do is type the address in the post, and it'll make the link automatically.

Can't wait to see your idea.

Sorry, don't have either. I'd love to start up my own site, possibly called kitt.com.au, but I just can't justify the cost, yet. Paying money for a domain name seems obscene to me, but anyway. Is it not possible to post a picture here directly?

Aussie... I see you have a yahoo account....you could upload the picture to yor yahoo brief case and then post the link to it... it works for me.

Give me a yell in the evening sometime if you want some help... I'm in about the same time zone as you so should be lurking online somewhere :)

I agree the Vette is a nice choice, however I found this GM concept pic on the net. It's a Pontiac too! I think it would make a good Kitt with a black paint job, of course.

Well, for no reason other than to to show off my drawing skills, :-P here's a pic I changed by adding a custom knight-inspired nose and scanner. Now I REALISE it's a Celica, but some of us are hard strapped to find any kind of Trans Am or Firebird, running or otherwise, so we have to make allowances. This was just a play, please don't give me cr@p if you hate it. I would gladly own a KITT replica, but I reckon I'd have to move to the US to have any kind of chance. And THAT aint gonna happen.

Somehow, that car looks a little 'ticked off'. If KITT were upgraded into it, I'd half expect machine gun ports to be a feature.
