1. Braking 300mph to 0mph in 12ft????

That can't possibly be right. That'd turn a passenger into jelly.

3. If it's not a Pontiac, It's NOT THE REAL KITT!

End of fucking discussion. :grr:

[Lady Freedom]

5. Remember that the Pontiac was the Knight Industry's Two Thousand.

this is the Knight Industry's Three Thousand.

9. I agree

WTF were they thinking?

[KeepItReal]

12. Roger that. This fast-and-furious Mustang blows.

This is the *best* car NBC could find? Or the one they got the most endorsement dollars to use?

[jakefrep]

16. If Pontiac still made the Firebird...

you'd have a point.

[Deja Q]

4. The only thing LESS stylish than that glossy rustbucket is the PT Cruiser.

Besides, why not remake "My Mother the Car" and just be done?

[baldguy]

6. How many cup holders?

[Giant Robot]

7. So when do we meet up with KARR

Knight Automated Roving Robot.

*Hangs head in shame*

Yes I remember KITT's eveil twin.

[unpossibles]

8. since it has shape shifting abilities, that means it is a Mustang by choice, right?

in other words, a faulty AI problem. :)

[flvegan]

10. Standing quarter mile in under 4 sec? Not on those tires

and not without a wheelie bar.

"Infinite power band" :rofl:

[mikeytherat]

14. And what, exactly, are we trying to accomplish with that split spoiler?

Pointing one wing up and one wing down to maximize dorkforce?

And 0-60 in 1.77 with those pizza-cutter tires and no wheelie bar? More like 0-backflip in 1.77.

:rofl:

[flvegan]

17. The spoiler? Obviously so KITT can do some heavy duty Outlaw racing

in either direction.

:rofl:

[DS1]

11. Hero mode?

supercharger and a turbo?

Power can't be measured?

300 to zero in 12 ft would take .027 seconds and measure 507 Gs

Uh. No.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Clearly it has some sort of anti gravity generator to counteract

the effects of stopping like that, like the ships on Star Trek.

[DS1]

18. If it's got anti-gravity, why even bother with wheels?

;-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. No one said this show makes any sense. LOL

[billyskank]

19. It's got inertial dampeners.

[mikeytherat]

25. But watching the new "Hoff" launch through the windshield still in his seat?

Priceless.

[jakefrep]

15. Cool!

But pleas don't tell me that this is for yet another cheesy summer-movie remake of a cheesy 80's TV show.

[Dr. Strange]

21. It ain't Kitt unless it's got the Cylon eyes.

[Bombero1956]

22. This is KITT

[Mojambo]

23. I refuse to watch any show where the human has a car or a monkey as a partner. n/t

[TheMightyFavog]

24. The only movie or TV Show where a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 would be marginally acceptible

Is a live-action adaptation of the manga/anime series Gunsmith Cats, and even then it would only be as a second choice, the first choice would be the 1967 Shelby GT500:

26. d00d that sh*t is fugly

:puke:
