KITT vs. KITT: Which is better?

Posted December 20, 2007 3:57 PM

From Autoblog:

Later on today when we publish the latest episode of the Autoblog Podcast, you'll get to hear my voice quiver as I recall the original KITT in all its F-body glory. The original KITT in Pursuit Mode was obviously the inspiration for the new KITT in Attack Mode, which is just as garish an automobile in its own right. Inevitably, comparisons between the KITT of our youth and the new KITT will occur like the one above, so we're pleased that Popular Mechanics bit the proverbial bullet and did a Special Features Comparison between the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am that played the original and the 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that's been hired for the new series.

Do you see GM coming out with any good looking production vehicles to match it? What would you like to see...a G-6, even the GTO (although fast) looks girlie...

A Shelby!? I'm outraged! I am infuriated! Do they think they can get away with this! KITT was perfect with the Hoff behind the wheel. Oh the insanity of it!

I'm telling Carrol.

Have ya'll seen the new driver?
