New Knight Rider Series

[WingZr0]

Please tell me that you're joking.

Me and my dad were just taliking about "Peter Gun",

if they remade it they'd mess that up.

Here's a little segment of the cars that'll be in the new Knight rider on Jays garage. At the end, Jay takes the KR for a spin and does some slides at the end.

Neat...I like how Leno says "nowadays you just want your car to shut up!":D

I think they should have used one of the last WS-6 Trans-Am's or Firehawks. Those were/are absolute beasts. Mustangs STILL don't have the power that those did. 345Hp baby!

Being from the south, and familiar with rednecks, I thought the comment was great. Down here in GA, not all of us are rednecks despite popular belief. I presently live in south Ga, an area that is frot with rednecks. I am from north Ga (Athens Go Dawgs UGA etc) and the rednecks are not as prolific as our more southern Ga bretheren. Hope this southern perspective helps!!! HAHA

Er....those Mustangs do. I believe they said that the Mustang GT500KR puts out 540HP.

Okaythat may be true, but that car weighs 3900lbs. Thats one heavy-arse car, so its gonna need every bit of that 500hp to get moving. I was referring to the Mustang GT that only puts out 300hp and still weighs 3483lbs, which is about the same weight as the last Trans-Am, but less power. Its been a decade since that LS1 Trans-Am came out and Ford STILL hasn't caught up. Besides, that GT500 costs $45000. Who in their right mind would spend that kinda cash on a Mustang?!?!

Probably the biggest consideration made was the marketability factor of the car chosen. The producers and Ford must have hashed out an agreement.

The new GT puts out 325hp.

I'm a huge Mustang fan, if I had the forty five grand, it would be car I'd buy.

In the video with Jay, the Knight Rider car builder said that there was deal worked out with Ford, so there must've been a deal made, because they did get the two cars to start with.

When is the movie showing on Sunday?

Not wanting to be argumentative but 3483lbs/300hp=11.6lbs/hp and 3900lbs/540hp=7.2lbs/hp. But you are right about the cost.
