Check out the new version of KITT. The Mustang got more gadgets, but i like the look of the Trans AM . No competition IMO. Trans Am owns.

[18th letter]

that mustang looks vicious

 

[blackmagnus514]

damn

 

[ghenges]

I don't care about the stats. I can't bring myself to like the Mustang. They should have went with a Corvette at least.

 

[big j 33]

I would do horrible, unspeakable things for that Mustang.

 

[hockamania]

seems like a chemistry lab on wheels with all the stuff it has

 

[tab5039]

That Mustang is Very Niiiice!

 

[mayhemgatz]

^co-sign....i'd deal with mephisto to own that car

 

[cris77stan]

call me old but

i would take the 1982 KITT


and for the hell of it throw in KARR too

 

[iluvjordanxi]

The mustang is just beautiful

 

[arog27]

The Mustang is nice...but it's not KITT.

 

[zeus23]

Mustang ***HANDS DOWN**

That's like comparing Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant

Mike's a LEGEND but U gotta go with Kobe ALL DAY

 

[john23friend85]

That Mustang is nice

 

[colorway]

The mustang looks mean but Im not feelin' those 2 spoilers.

 

[lionheart]

call me old school as well, but i still prefer the trans am.

 

[putting in work]

Is the Mustang going to have that red strobe light going back and forth.

 

[awash242]

The Mustang would be great if it was simplified some...change the wheels and the spoiler(s).
I'll take the OG KITT anyday.

 

[layzielou21]

Nice to see this on here... I work for the company that made and provided the mustangs and we were excited to see how people would react to the change. Ford isthe sponsor for the show, so expect to see a whole lot of them.

Horrible comparison, and I'm sure Kobe is at the top of your swag list...

 

[layzielou21]

Comparing Kobe to MJ, and going with Kobe ??? Why ???

 

[mossman75]

I'll take a TA any day over a mustang

that's what i was thinking.

@ those stats....

 

[bboyrealm]

I guess Pontiac didn't want to front a few rides. Regardless, there will ALWAYS be more custom Trans Ams out there than the Mustang version. The Trans Amseems more stealth and mysterious. The Mustang makes people look at it and be like+!+$!

Should have been this:

 

[thizzle wigle]

^ thats better because a mustang is not a spy type car at all
