Did you detect an unpleasant sensation(that we humans would call pain) while performing maneuvers such as Turboboost, and did you ever experience anything that you would compare to human fatigue, especially in SPM?

How does it feel to be second choice behind the original prototype KARR?

we already know the answer to that..he said "instead of being a problem ridden prototype, he's the new IMPROVED model".

Actually, he was the production line model. ;)

But somehow, second choice has such a negative connotation, especially when you leave out the whole concept of what made him the 'younger car'.

He is not some second banana to KARR, he was supposed to be the new and improved version. Calling KITT a second choice is like calling a Pentium 4 a fourth choice to a Pentium. You know just as well as I do that you would take the newer, more improved choice, and wouldn't call it a second choice.

I like kitt and everything but for some reason i've always liked the bad guy. with that said how can everyone say that kitt was the improved model. karr could do the same things kitt could do. the only thing really different about them was their main objectives. karr's was self-preservation and kitt's was to protect human life. if kitt was really improved then why would he need the laser to defeat karr? if he was the "improved model" then he would not need the laser.

Because of that modification. An improvement is not something that gives an advantage, it is an improvement on something that could have been improved. KITT became more reliable and less self-serving, so that is an improvement.

that's not completly true. adding the laser to kitt would be an advantage over karr, that's why karr had the laser installed in him. and when kitt had the reflecters added he had an advantage over karr because the laser would simply bounce back at karr. so those improvements brought their advandages and some disadvandages as well.

I think you missed the point. The point that said that what made KITT the more improved model was the modification to his programming, that allowed KITT to be less self-centered, that is where he was improved. Not every improvement has to be an advantage. That is why KITT was the more improved model, not because of the battle crap challenges of does this make him better? no, this makes him better, those are after market, and built for a purpose.

Regarding KARR. How did you, KITT, feel when you heard of KARR's existance for the very first time :?: How did it feel to know that you were no longer one of a kind :?:
