Default Knight Rider Movie - T/A Owners Rejoice!

Do you think they'll use a LS1 WS6 or an older one? If they don't use an F-body, it will be blasphemy!! How about a 5th gen Camaro, if it came out in time?

Oh and check out James Bonds' New ride too:

FYI, they made a shitty TV show based on Smokey and the Bandit and it used a Dodge Stealth TT I believe. Don't get your hopes up that the new Kit will be a TA. They use whats popular, cheap, and brings in money.

Hollywood doesn't have any new ideas. Though, I'll probably go see it.

Yup, I remember that one.

I think there is even a possibility of a KITT 3rd gen clone and basing it off that. You never know....

I don't really care what car they use. My only comment on this movie would be,

DON'T BRING BACK DAVID HASSELHOFF!

His afro always killed me.

They won't introduce a TA in the new movie. I recall seeing the made for t.v knight rider movie back in the early 90's and they had kitt installed in all these high priced cars. no TA

Yes there was. I used to watch it religiously...I was 12 and the Viper was only 2 years old so it was a cool show

i saw the KR200, its included with either season 1 or 2 of KR. they used a steath and made it look like the banshee concept. Viper was a pretty cool show from what i remember. yall ever see TKR? all the vehicles were fords. i hope a new KR movie does use a ls1 WS6 or Hawk, but its hard to say. if they can get a manufacturer to basically give them cars to use, then they will.

Yeah I remember that TV movie. Devin dies, Hasselhoff finds KITT in a scrap heap and installs him in his 62 Cadillac.(or whatever year the caddy was). It was pretty gay.

I'd suggest that we write to the Weinstien Company to make sure it's SOME KIND of T/A, buuut, that **** never works.

I used to think knight rider 2000 was the coolest movie ever made, mostly from my memories of wathcing it when I was a kid. After years of searching here and there once and a while, it finally came on TV and.....wow, huuuge letdown, very cheesy, not like I remembered at all, I want the movie from my head back, dammit.

Any body remember the retarded show called Team Knight Rider, were all the cars were ford poorducts, and even all the other cars in the city were fords

If they make KITT a mustang I will personally burn LA to the ground

(edit) I just saw someone posted about Team Knight rider so somebody remembers

any ways I saw a website that shows how they turned the Dodge Stealth into the Banshee look alike, it was pretty cool actually,

Man I love the way the 80s Pontiac Banshee looked, it would have made a great car
