It was ok but didn't do much for me. The pursuit mode should be the icing on the cake. IMO they should've made non-pursuit mode the GT500 and then the pursuit mode the KR.

Man I hate the pursuit wing. Should have just morphed the height and shape. I did like the morphing into a GT to go incognito. They need a little more live action on the basic scenes like going across the open desert. The shadow sucked and the car basically floated down the road. But overall I liked it and want to see more. I kept trying to figure out the back seat. Looked like hard plastic. I'd like to see a good toy replica though. I'd buy it.

That and there was no"whine" from the supercharger mainly since it's a GT with a KR body kit.

I didn't but I didn't watch the entire two hour episode. I watched the first hour and then went to bed. I did dvr it though so we'll see when I get home. Regardless you should have been able to hear it every single time he accelerated. Surely you didn't hear it every time. You should have been able to hear it like this:

From about 2:15 forward of the clip. No way in hell that car is the same. The exhaust notes themselves are different. Also notice that in any publicity pictures not one that I have been able to find shows what's under the hood. And last but not least when the actors are driving it has an automatic because they couldn't drive a stick. Hollywood.

Watched it,liked it.
WIll watch it again,and the wing was kinda huge but i guess your appealing to a younger generation of watchers versus the old school knight rider,i guess kids want to see that big ass wing.

Overall I liked it. It did lack a little action and excitement at times, but sometimes the shows just need a little time to really take off. That car is awesome though!! I agree that the wing is hideous. I'll probably keep watching it.

Well maybe I'm going deaf. I rewind it back to the parking garage scene and see if I can hear it.

I've been looking on the website and I don't see anything about this being an actual tv show, everything says this was a NBC original movie. Which is kinda lame if thats how the movie ends.

i thought the show was preety good. i like the pursuit mode except for the wing. blacked out cars are amazing. i'll continue watching it when they start making it into the tv show. which hopefuly will happen, because i'm sure it was a popular show the other night for nbc. i read somewhere that they were just testing this out, and if enough people turned to nbc to watch it that they were going to continue with it(maybe this fall?), but i am not sure if the writer's srtike has messed with that or not.

anyways, good show. i watched it twice because i was really tired the first time lol.

One thing I noticed when I rewatched it was as best as I can tell the original knight industries two thousand car was mostly disasembled but under the cover in the same garage. I saw a tuned port injection intake and the steering wheel.
