KITT vs Porsche | Knight Rider 

I was going to say the same thing

I did! 👍

i held doors open for ladies with babies in the 1980s...

I was Born in 82 but never saw the show back then. Saw it for the first time in 2000

I was born in '92 and grew up watching the Reruns they were doing of Knight Rider and the A-Team on my Dads 29" Tv. I remember I was either 5 or 6 years old in 1997-1998 and the Channel was KDOC-TV 56, (Before TV was Digital) when you had local channels and didn't need Cable, and You had the Rabbit ear antennas, instead of converter boxes or Fiber Optic cable that started around 2009 when TV went Digital. Knight Rider came on at 5pm, and after it at 6pm was the A-Team which I also stayed tuned in for. I would always tune in around 4:55pm and saw the ending credits to a show called Saved by the Bell, which I didn't understand & didn't care for, seemed like a Goofy show about high school kids, and I wanted to see action not one liner pranks, when I saw the Opening scene of Knight Rider with the music all I saw was a Long Sleek Black Bullet Shaped Car with a Red light on the front moving from side to side speeding across the Desert as the sun was fading. And then you heard the Narrating from Wilton Night, and then you saw all the Quick shots of the Dashboard, the wheels, the Scanner light, the speedometer, the Tail lights, as he was narrating: Knight Rider, A Shadowy Flight into the Dangerous World of a Man... Who does Not Exist... *Music Intensifies* followed by Turbo Boost shots. Oh Man! that was It for a 6 year old me. I was Hooked like a Drug. I had found the Ultimate show, and I didn't even know what kind of a car it was, all I knew was that it was Long and Black and shaped like a Speeding Bullet, and that One day when I grew up, I was gonna find out what car that was and that I was gonna have one just like that!

Loved this show

I know right? Dick move Michael!

lol

Yeah.. that was a pure "douchebag" move

“What’d you do...wake up on the wrong side of the garage this morning?” 😂

I blame the director, the producer, the editor, the camera-man and David, for the shot! Somebody should have noticed! I hope they're not this way in real life!

The problem is between the seat and the wheel.

Yeah certainly not the fastest way to get out of the parking lot but the studio wanted to demonstrate to the viewer that KITT was hot and thus used their 350 car to intentionally roast the tires like a boss so we wouldn't think KITT was inferior to the Porsche. That was indeed a hot car and that stunt driver handled it like a pro. love this scene

@@digitalmagicAR Oh definitely. One of my favorite scenes of absolute V8 tire smoking in the series.

@@ribbitgoesthedoglastnamehe4681 what episode was this

@@marioiacolucci Are you serious? Every one ever made? Hello? Or maybe you should ask Digital Magic Studios?

I use to watch Dukes of Hazzard then Knight Rider came along so then I started watching Knight Rider...I also watch Automan,Blue Thunder,Air Wolf,Six Million Dollar Man was before all of them I think or Giant Robot,.But for cars Knight Rider and I also watch Viper too...But Knight Rider is my all time favorite show...

gratler whoever he saw first. But this is Hollywood. Have to make it interesting.

That racist!

Guy in Porsche probably paid off cop at some point.

Please dont start with that racist crap that's all u people know the cop probably thought he had better chance at catching a transam than a Porsche or want to finish his drink

Trans am?

What happened to his Dodger hat it must of feel of his head.

That was enough of an Advertisement for the 1988 and 2020 World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

I say he wears it better then anyone else out there.

Well he does have a Brillo pad for hair so …..

Facts!

Sounding mean

Marcello Porro - they edited out it breaking down.

1967 Chevelle LSx your definitely funny 😂

Yep that’s the best part in this scene; the engine start-up and burnouts all in the cars original sounds - no engine and screeching tyre edits here like most scenes.

@@frankaquarius4658 Yes, for sure...

He heard K.I.T.T.'s Liquid Hydrogen super injection engine, he didn't even know what he just saw, he just knew shit just got serious.

Lol

@@Longlostpuss OR he recently saw "Smokey and the Bandit" movie and couldn't help himself :D

Black trans am fails to start and catches fore

@@Longlostpuss F**k, I love your explanation! Just effing love it!

No, the guy in the pickup had nothing to do with the bad guys. Just happenstance.

@@ez2tv3 Or that

NUBLAFIED NUBBIE please say „Porsche“. Greetings from Germany😉

NUBLAFIED NUBBIE Damm, your right maybe Herbie has that teleportation gig in the 80’s

Editing is everything lol

Boiiiii you saw that too lol

Herbie is faster then me are kidding dude I'm the Knight industries 2000 I am far more advanced and faster you can ask Michael himself he will tell you

good one!

That burnout was sweet tho. 😂

Nah KITT did that for some showing off

@@mrbadass5423 lol

Tom G. And to think that’s a 305

@@TFD1982 With about 145 horsepower. Power was at miserable levels back then.

Maybe the limited slip differential engaging possibly?

Yay! A little Knight Rider/Herbie crossover there.

Not to mention the layout. The Firebird over the Porsche any day.

The 1982-1984 Trans Ams were and still are to this day Genius in Design and the most Aerodynamic Firebird Ever Made. Certainly the weakest in terms of Engines but they made up for it by designing the Most Low Drag Coefficient 0.29 Firebird Ever. And that is what matters because you can drop a Modern engine in these Trans Ams and have it be faster than the Porsche. And I've seen a 2002 LS1 Trans Am engine dropped in an 83 Trans Am Kitt Replica. With a Cam and Ported Heads, the car went from having a stock carbureted chevy 305ci making 145hp and 240 torque to a fuel injected 400hp 400 torque 5.7

That 964 was silver. The one from Wangan Midnight is black, hence the car’s nickname.

Blackbird vs KITT

Would have been epic if they put it into the show... KITT actually crashing into a random truck by accident. Then should be Devond with his Pikatchu face; 'Michael, your incompetence is getting out of control! How could you have collided a car with anti-collision system into and dump truck?!'

Yup. In the first episodes done by Glen Larson, it was said and shown that KITT had rocket thrusters which he could use to launch into high speed instantly. This ability was used though the show, with the sound effect but without mentioning the function, but in many scenes such as these, KITT is strangely unable to use them.

It's only a beetle, not Herbie himself

2:48 there’s the beetle again

@@kellyweingart3692 o fusquinha é o mais rapido de todos. kkkk

I'm glad someone else spotted Herbie lol

KITT: “Oh yeah?...watch this” *goes into a reverse 180*

1967 Chevelle LSx I mean it was a good burnout to say the least

1967 Chevelle LSx ok challenge accepted watch me oh ya I added ya as a modder on my channel as I think I can trust you

was wondering the same, looked like it tapped it and bounced back

​@@zaytoonyNo, a cable stopped the car. The point of the shot was to get a sliding stop, nearly hitting the dump truck. But in case if it was a little too close for comfort, a cable was rigged to the chassis to stop KITT before he got damaged.

@@delanorrosey4730 thanks, that makes more sense.

@@zaytoony The Knight Rider Historians channel showed the front end of the car - badly damaged from previous stunts, collisions, etc. It was much cheaper for them to use a cable to prevent damage and then do a good job fixing the stunt car used in the scene later on when it was really trashed than it was to keep wrecking the cars and fixing them up, only to do it again later.

@delanorrosey4730 Interesting, I'm pretty sure all those turbo boost shots wrecked a lot of cars. I think they had some sort of deal with Pontiac at the time. But still would've been expensive.

do you think theres a chance that the store had Security Cameras 32 years ago? maybe KITT tap into that :)

Knight in degrace is the only episode where they have a real conversation on his screen

@@606danco you mean towards the beginning when Michael was talking to devon on the screen

KITT28 yes

Porche is sitting in the parking lot to the left of KITT when the vid starts. Ahh, who needs continuity.

You know, there were more than just one Volkswagen car at the time. They were all over the place.

@@sharoneasley9717 im a German jew my last name is Vogelsang.. birdsong .. conflicted

Vin Petrol hey! WhAts up!

Vin Petrol very well noticed

Those are not damages. Those are the rubber exterior so that unsuccessful attempts won't damage the front bumper

I noticed that too. She should've given him a nasty look. But she also runs up to the shooting victim later, leaving her kid behind somewhere on his own.

Then I guess the child is the most disadvantaged in this situation.

stroooooonnngg whaaammennnn!!

Michael is on a mission, doesn't have the time, Waitin on a woman.

The new ones don't even look like porsches anymore.

Memories, I had the exact same uncle.

That looked like a dark silver to me…

Mister G bullshit like 1967 lsx said a perfectly tuned LU5 can do a amazing burnout

John Kifflom not ALL OF THEM

1967 Chevelle LSx precisely👍🏼

John Kifflom no you said most of them had a create engine or trans replaced

I like the chase in knight of the drones and nobody doesn’t better

Because the dog's supposed to have gotten out when he opens the car door. Which is part of the mystery later

@@cloudkitt Yeah, but did you forget about the part where Sugar is the lady's seeing-eye dog? Dogs that assist the blind are well-trained, obedient and loyal. They don't run wild or take off and chase squirrels or cars. If this wasn't due to a script rewrite then it was poorly thought-out when it was written. It hits the points the episode needs it to to get it from beginning to end but it still looks sloppy upon a second look.

Come on, it's not a big deal 🙄

thanks for the reminder smart guy

That wasn't a Charger. That was a Boss 302.

And he had the cheek to ask KITT if he woke up on the wrong side of the garage this morning😄

Everyone was running the redlight too

Not almost. He quite a few inches back..good catch

Yeah they did some type of rigging in that stunt. You are right cars do not bounce back from a sliding stop like that. KITT didn't hit the truck but pulled back afterward anyway with some force pulling it from behind. It would be neat to find out exactly how they pulled that off.

Yeah strange indeed, by then many of us knew where the turbo boost button was
