DAMN! KITT came to FLD? That's cool as hell!

Derek D. got to sit in KITT!!! You lucky bastard! KITT is awesome, a lot of people were hating on the fact that KITT is now a mustang but as the Double D said, it's not your ordinary mustang! I still am a fan of the original, but hey, the new KITT looks way cool! FLD rocks!

yea whats up with that

Holy crap, there is a new KITT??? Ford GT500KR too!!! SWEET! What an awesome exhaust note..... Anyone know what time Sunday night on NBC?

I've been wanting to get behind the wheel of KITT since I was seven years old. Damn you Derek D!

whatever happened to the horns?

yeah right the only thing i hear different in that GT500KR is an after market cold air intake, deeper more thoaty sounding exhaust note and maybe headers to match, thats it. so tops we're taking about a 60hp jump from stock. the new Zo6 is pointless no get no hoursepower boost what the point?? the new paint and the being able to say i have a limted edition Zo6??? what a waste of 80 grand.

KITT sounds cammed out. Nice interior but please do something about that $5 rear view mirror

YO THIS IS NOTHING TO TOP GEAR ___WTF SOME BOGUS CRAP HERE

why not just call it supergay instead of 427, at least you cant copyright letters in sequence.

I am assuming they made the 427 version with collectors in mind. Most people will see through the gimmick, but eh, what can ya do. They should have changed the exhaust set-up to modern agronomic side-pipes and then called it the 427…now that would have rocked!

there was no gear selector, auto or stick, in KITT.
weird

KITT drives himself.

KITT should be a challenger or camaro....not a mustang. That is wrong on so many levels. At least they chose the biggest and baddest pony to do the job. A 97 Trans Am with Ram Air would do the job just fine. LT4 motor.....

how can i put a pic on my account?

DD - Did you say "Epic Fail" for the 427?

Why? How can you say that?

Supramike, no HP boost? 505 HP is not enough??

Waste of 80 grand? Show me any production car that can outperform it at any price? (Aside from Hyper Cars Bugatti, Aero, etc)

Anything > over 500, its not so much a question of power, its a matter of traction & being able to make use of all that power & grip.

I think those wheels alone are worth their weight in gold. Beautiful. And they look easy to clean as well.

Morgan Woody? I dont know how that guy gets away with building wooden matchbox cars with road certificates. Im all for the kit car industry etc. But I was speaking with an owner who had his morgan 'cracked' spontaneously. When he approached Morgan to inform him about a possible recall, Morgans' reply; "Thats the way it is. If you dont like it, build your own car."

How come they says "Always fresh. Everyday." if they don't film on weekends???

REALLY Mr. CARBON FIBER, so ur saying the wheels and the paint skeem warrants about a 10 grand jump from a stock Zo6 price?? yeah, i think not. dont get me wrong man i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Z06, infact i'm looking into having one soon, but i think if their gonna roll out a new one just about a month or so after giving us the Zr1 it has to be in the middle of the current Z06 and the Zr1 perfomace wise, or at least have a betta Suspension set up, or have a kooler more aerodynamic body kit or something....dont just slap on new wheels, a new paint job, slap a couple of 427 badges on it then jack the price up about 10 grand and call it a new thing cuz its not. i can buy a used Z06 for much less then slap better wheels and that lame ass paint skeem on it and call it a 427.....thats all i'm saying. i'm not dogg'n the Z06 in general. and to answer Oilpit question, kitt has to be automatic, its just soooo much easier to control a full size car by remote control when its an automatic. the show mythbusters have done the remote control car thing a number of times in fact their very first episode has one on there u can c how its done.

supramike dont worry about carbon fiber...hes a tool.

DAMN! KITT!! Awesome car

Glad DD doesnt like fart can exhausts either.

Old school UK craftsmanship + electric drivetrain = garaged for repairs CONSTANTLY...

Vette 427? sure whatever.

KITT is pretty dope. Can't say I will watch the TV show though.
