I personally liked the way the older ones Drove ( Ran ) compared to the new ones. One thing though Mustangs always sound damn good even with nothing done to them, just exhaust.

Lets be honest. How many of us woulda been/be caught dead in an old school Firebird that was in the original show. It was kinda weak even for then. LOL.

it was actually a good show. the first knight 2000 was a 84 ta. reason it was a ta is gm had a decent looking car out at the time. ford didnt have anythign worth a dam so the sporty TA was what was chosen. they chose the Shelby cause it is the most desired platform at the time. there isnt a car from GM that woudl fit the part. the movie was made before the camaro was made and the TA isnt coming out anytime soon.

the story behind it makes partial sense as it starts back before Knight industries came out. they showed parts of Knight 2000 in the garage where Knight 3000 was.

Mike is the son of micheal knight. the story is going to be continued on in the tv series supposly. Micheal knight is suppose to train Mike in how to be the new TO-GO man.

as for as the car, its sick and the pursiut mode is even nicer.
if some of you recall which many wont that Knight 2000 actually was crushed then became part of the 92/93 prototype TA then it was soon became a Tri-five chevy.

the show isnt trying to replace the orignal series just a continuation of 25yrs later.

I watched it cause there was nothing else on. I thought it was gay. Ok they went with a stang, whatever, it was apparent that Ford gave them a ton of money to promote their cars. The story was boring, the graphics/nano technology crap was stupid, the giant wing that "morphed" onto it during "pursuit" mode was total rice. They wimped out or cheaped out on the car and went with all computer generated crap for the changes in the car between modes. It was a lot of computer graphics instead of some good old fashion real mechanics and a story line.

I think the hot lesbians in the beginning was probably the best part.

Well, I'd definitely do the chic in the show. But I'd rather watch...
