In the mid 80s the T/A made sense...it was a hot car in those days...not so much now. You've gotta stick with the times on stuff like this if you expect people to pay attention. I have no doubts that it would've been a T/A again if there was a new T/A to use. In fact i'm a little surprised it isn't a modded out GTO. Maybe the KR's hood had something to do with it where they put the lights at.
In the 80's the T/A was a futuristic looking car, so yeah it made sense. Remember Team Knight Rider in the late 90's, they didnt use a T/A or any other GM they were all Fords and now its Shelby KR (Knight Rider). Hmm.
My thoughts exactly. Funny, I haven't heard one peep about the actor who is playing to lead. Or should I say, the actor that will be Kitt's "co-star".
You mean ... it's not gonna be The Hoff?
Jay Leno has a pretty cool vid about the making of the car.,....

Yeah, thats pretty much why I'm going to see it too.
I never caught on the to KR thing. Thats pretty cool.
Im sure they used the Mustang because Ford put up he $ for it. Its all about product placement. Plus there is no T/A currently being produced and the Camaro and Challenger are still a few months to a year away.
True ... although that didn't stop Michael Bay from giving the Camaro Concept a main feature spot in "Transformers," and that was last year.
C'mon, how badass is this???
I never knew why there is so much animosity towards the Gt-500?? Sure it costs $60K+ and weights 9000 pounds and is barely any faster than an 03/04 Cobra.....but if someone gave you one you would all take one in a second!!
If i ever win the lotto and don't mind blowing $100K to get one. I would in a heartbeat. I could care less about it's actual performance numbers. I'd just feel like a badass driving the BEST Mustang ever made.
BTW....David Hasselhoff makes a cameo to "hand over the reigns" of the family business to the new Knight Rider

GM threw a lot of coin at the studio to use their models for most of the vehicles. Never mind that bumble bee was originally a Volkswagen beetle.
