Doesn't look bad (but the original KITT cat looks better ;))

About the braking...it can brake from 300mph to 0mph in 12ft...which is probably just above the length of the car itself.

Imagine the G Forces from that :o

They must have emplyed a VERY strong chap for the film! ;D

Every stoplight you would fly through the windshield.  You might get used to it I suppose, eventually you would just calmly get up, brush yourself off, and get back in ;D

i think its a great looking car... but the show is doomed. they tried to remake Knight Rider in the mid 90s and it bombed after like one season!

and thats another thing - how in the hell are Americans supposed to become more fuel efficiency minded when they keep putting out movies and TV shows that focus on hot rod cars like this one???!!!



I think Bond looked great driving a ford mondeo!!!

Bond driving that mondeo was as bad as bond driving the bmw a few movies back. It's Aston all the way.
Not a knock on the mondeo, as its an extremely good looking car, far too plastic on the inside, but very nice to look at. Just a further example of fords lack of respect to it's real money making companies by pushing the Mondeo over the aston.
