remote controled kitt.... I'm so excited. I grew up watching this show

Ender81 01-07-2008 08:31 AM

I grew up watching it too but I don't know, I'll give it one episode before I decide hat Kitt being a Mustang ruined it lol.

I don't think KITT being a Mustang would ruin the show. I really don't understand why people keep saying that. I think if the show fails, it will be because of the acting or plot. I use to love and watch the show all the time too.

The GT500KR is a bad ass car. (And yes, we all know I'm mad at how heavy they are) but they are still pretty cool cars.

See I really don't think they're that great, fast yes but I think they could have done a lot more with it. Plot helps but the car is a huge part. From my point of view it should have been a new Camaro or a Firebird concept. I would feel that way if they had choosen pretty much anything wether I liked the car or not (yes I would even complain if it were an STI lol).

**Edit**
A good first season episode would be blowing up that Mustang hehehehe

the difficulty with having the new KITT being a concept car is that for stunts, you won't be able to use it.

At least with this new show they can launch stock v6 mustangs off ramps and crash them and **** like that. Which is what they did back in the 80's with the trans am. There was actually an accident with one of the car transports for pontiac and they ended up wrecking a load of firebirds/trans ams so the producers ended up buying them all to use use as stunt cars and cars to "turbo boost"

mmmm.....wrecked Mustang lmao. Yeah I agree about the concept cars for stunts, it is pretty close to production though. Who knows maybe it's like the new Transformers movie not using a Beetle for Bumblebee, VW wouldn't let them.

I think that a blacked out cobra makes for a great KITT, now stop denying the fact that it will ruin the show because deep down inside you know that car is sick

I am definately not denying the fact that it will ruin the show.

As for deep down inside, honestly no. I've been in one and it just doesn't impress me as much as something with that lineage should. Hp is there but nothing else really felt like it had been stepped up as well. It was like the whole idea was add more HP and a couple badges.

gpzjack 01-07-2008 07:02 PM

Mustang is stupid. I would bet big that ford paid alot for them to use it. I will probably end up being a 2hr commercial for ford. ABE



lol I just read all the responses at the bottom...bunch of fighting about the us and the war.....LOL God this is going to be bad. The original series was corny but cool. this will surely be bad.

licensedtothrill 01-07-2008 07:46 PM

personal preference would have been a blacked out Saleen mustang. Shellby seems to get his hands into everything.

gpzjack 01-07-2008 08:10 PM

New dukes of hazard is coming out...they will have a orange hyundai.

Munky 01-07-2008 09:50 PM

Just saw a quick clip for the new Knight Rider tonight during American Gladiators. Still kinda iffy tho about them switching to a Mustang. Could care less so long as the acting and plot are semi decent.

Raven18940 01-08-2008 10:25 AM

While I don't love the mustang, it's acceptable, but that mustang isn't right. It's waaaaay too flash, look at the size of that wing. A blacked out GT would be much more appropriate.

2drStunner 01-08-2008 10:38 AM

Im very excited about the show but I to am not happy about Kitt being a Mustang! But I dont think the car will make or break the show.....if the show sucks it sucks!

Scapegoat 01-08-2008 11:59 AM

the thing that will make or break the show, for most of us "old timers" who grew up with the show, will be KITT's voice

The teach from boy meets world is still alive, he could do it again lmao.

Munky 01-15-2008 11:02 AM

Anyone catch the new preview during American Gladiators lastnight (1/14)?!? They changed the voice of KITT! FAIL!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DBA8...eature=related

MuddyREX 01-15-2008 11:46 AM

I can't wait. Now all I need is for A-Team and Airwolf to come back.

Then my life will be complete.

ozthunder 01-15-2008 11:51 AM

Jan Michael Vincent ftmfw!

This show is going to fail so hard.

what did you expect... you have any idea how old William Daniels is? His voice most likely won't sound anything like it did 20 years ago anyway
