KITT vs. KITT Spec Breakdown!

[87GTA]

http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4237588.html and again i still don't like the mustang as K.I.T.T

[NJSPEEDER]

and they are also wrong on several points, the original KITT had both radar and sonar that it used in different episodes.

[firehawk1120]

the later K.I.T.T. also had a laser which it used to defeat K.A.R.R.

I'm also not feeling a 'Stang as Kitt. I would have no problem with a movie about some kinda Mustang supercar, but no Mustang should ever be played off as Kitt! :evil:

**** the mustang, kitt is a t/a, that is all

[1972LT1]

I could accept KITT as a GTO,G8,or a new Camaro.....what's next???! a Smokey and the Bandit Challenger? A Bullit Skyline? A Hardcastle and McCormic Daewoo? A General Lee Audi TT? WTF? F you Hollywood!

That's right, sir. Also, the real K.I.T.T. was also able to scan people for vital signs. That's how he knew to use the oxygenator. Also, did I miss Turbo Boost? Was that in the comparison? That's what made K.I.T.T. who he was. Yeah, definitely the Turbo Boost and not a bunch of cleverly camouflaged ramps. It was Turbo Boost. :mrgreen:

[oh one ls1 SS]

i wounder what the mustang guys have to say about the "new and improved" KITT

[Rafterman]

Probably stupid arguments about "If the Trans Am was so great, why did it get canceled?" and that all that BS.

[Squirrel]

probably the response i read:
" Nothing like watching 1000 posters completely miss the point: This car will grab the attention of any 10 year old boy the way the first KITT grabbed our attention when we were young, and thats the point. 10 year olds dont care about Ford versus GM (both crap compared to any Japanese manufacturer, face it)...they care about looks, and this car looks like it was custom made to be a toy line. Period. When I was 10 and Knight Rider first came on the air, I was hooked. Same with Airwolf. Same with Automan and with any other show that featured a high tech vehicle. This show will be no different. I'm actually kind of SURPRISED that the car is an American one, howveer.....given the kids today I figured KITT would be a Subaru or some other thrice-turboed 4cyl from Japan."

GOOD POINT!!

[79T/A]

Automan! Holy crap, I'd forgotten all about THAT one! Excellent! That and "Streethawk," with the vigiliante on the K.I.T.T.-like motorcycle.

Sorry...senior moment of nostalgia.
