...Why the hell would you want to replace a Trans-Am with a mutilated GT500? They should have gone with the Dodge Challenger, and left it un-mutilated.

Looks more like a "Cylon" car, than the car from Knightrider.

Funny that you mentioned that. The creator of the original Knight Rider, Glen A.Larson, also created the original Battlestar Galactica. The fancy light on the front of the Trans Am for KITT was a reused prop from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica or something along those lines....

 

KITT's Anamorphic Equalizer scanner is similar to that of Cylons from the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica. Glen A. Larson was the creator of both Knight Rider and Battlestar Galactica. He has stated that the two shows have nothing (else) in common. To remove any fan speculation, he stated in the DVD audio-comments, that he simply reused the scanning light for KITT because he liked the effect.

Just a bit of useless trivia there for you
