Knight Rider movie catch-all

...a Ford Shelby Mustang! I was saving up for the new Bullitt edition Mustang, but I'd gladly take out a mortgage for this baby.

True.(especially since it's Michael Bay) Ford got screwed on that deal though. Here's a ton of money can you have our Mustang get it's ass kicked by our biggest rival the Camaro.

Do you even know your own car? F-body is the generic GM chassis with a either a Camaro or Firebird skin.
So yeah, I was pointing out that you're just upset because KITT is ditching the mullet-wagon look.
I think we have Hijacked this thread enough over our brotherly dispute.
PS: I don't like Trans Ams even if they are almost identical back then. I assumed you knew since you are my brother so saying my beloved F-Body would be refering to the Camaro.

My dad had a Firechicken when I was a kid, it was the best car he ever owned. Never broke down, was fast and it was blue with white leather interior. Pure awesome.
I remember one day the neighbor at the end of the block came buy to see if something was wrong. Apparently my dad took the corner at the end of the block a little fast and for a brief moment ended up on only two tires. He regrets selling that car. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough room to fit three kids plus my mom and dad when my first sister was born.

I think I can dig a modify version of this to fit K.I.T.T,

That'd work. Using the Mustang, KITT might as well be a Dodge Magnum.

KITT should be a Tucker Torpedo. Replace the center lamp with the cylon scanner.

Are you like my long lost older brother? My parents had one, too.

I'm solidly in the "Firechicken" camp. 
But I'm an old school muscle car type of gal. The new Mustang chassis in general are more than a bit blocky for my taste, and the Cylon lamp just helps accentuate it.
I always thought Michael Knight was a doof, but chicks dug the car. KITT's more important to me than exactly which unwashed, uncouth mancub they're filling the Hoff's shoes with.

That's a far better match than the car they picked.

Agreed, that would make a better KITT. Probably out of their price range however.

I own a 98 Corolla... and my dog doesn't drive.

Hm, my dad's was a maroon T-top. He'd promised to give it to me when I turned 16, but it got stolen and stripped thrice before I got my permit. By the time we got it back the third time, it was pretty much trash.

I much prefer the one from the movie (a Koenigsegg CCX).

*my opinion*
I don't like it. It doesn't emit the KITT vibe, to me.
I think it needs to be a sleeker car like maybe the Bugatti Veyron (Why not?)
Or, if you have to use a Ford, how about the GT?

Oh, that's niiice. I was just drooling over the Koenigsegg website not 3 days ago.

I don't think the scanner's positioning will work for as many closeups or "reaction shots" as the original's. If anything it looks unimaginatively placed. And Aries is right, KITT wasn't a muscle car, he was a sleek sports car.

Well, unfortunately, there's no way to mount the scanner any lower, since it'd get in the way of the engine and even if it could fit, it'd obstruct air flow through the grille. And another problem is that this movie's being done on the cheap; I doubt NBC was willing to afford to shell out to rent the prototype for the new Pontiac Firebird or anything more expensive than the Shelby.

Seconded. What a horrible choice for K.I.T.T.

Yeah I think I vomitted a little. The best thing about it though K.I.T.T. won't need camouflage or morph abilities. He will look like every other car on the road, and I mean that literally.

I wouldn't want it to be a Camaro either. I think they should pick an original car that not everyone and their dog owns. I'm sure main reason they picked this car is because it's so trendy, and they figure that will lead to a larger audience.
They did the same thing for Transformers.

Barracade was a Mustang in Transformers. I still say KITT needs to be sleek, and unique.
