Maybe.. Airwolf in the middle east.. That would kick ass.

How about Airwolf against Kitt. Come on they did Alien VS Predator. Yeah, ok that sucked also. Forget it.

Must be a new version. I didn't recognize it right off. I was guessing a Paganni Zonda or something.

THat reminds me - I was at the Airport a few months back, and did a double take - sandwiched in the tiny stalls was a Zonda! Guy must not care about his car because that was a guaranteed door ding!

'Michael, I'm detecting something on my audio sensors...'

'What is it you can hear KITT?'

'Well Michael, it sounds like a barrel being scraped'

Look how low the new Kit is to the ground ! The poor thing is going to bottom out with every minor grade change to the road. It would never be able to pull into my driveway or go over a speed bump without ripping it's bottom off !!!

It is pretty high off the road. I'd say my SAAB is half that distance to the ground. I have only issue leaving the occasional driveway, so I'd say this thing will be able to go anywhere.

Man it really shows you guys know a lot about subs but almost nothing about cars

, although I have to admit before taking a closer look I also mistook the new KITT for the Dodge, but that other car is a Pagani Zonda as Subman said.

Thought so. It looked too refined for a Konigsegg.

whoops....

my bad about that konigsegg...
google images got it wrong then.

As to the car question, all you had to do was read the article:

Quote:

Finally, the character we care about most, KITT, has been officially confirmed as a Ford GT500KR.

Let me poke at you again - at least you could post a pic of the fast model.

A hint - it is the CCXR!

Reaves · 12-13-07, 07:46 PM

I'm putting my money on 1 season but they could be stubborn and make 2.

While we're talking about cars I was at a mates house yesterday who just received a black 58 Cadillac with a 360 in it. That's what I call a good looking car.
