Dream Cars : Camaro vs Mustang vs Challenger

Defying the oddsmakers, though, America’s three trick ponies are back. And they’re back big. Those days of yore are indeed long-gone. but only because the new incarnations of the Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang are so far evolved from their famed predecessors they’re recognizable almost by name only.

Sure, the old cars looked cool and made lots of noise and got the girls, and some could even lay down a righteous longitudinal blast when the road arrowed straight. But none could match these current machines for blistering speed, cornering ability, braking power, driveability, reliability, and comfort. I mean, when I was 16, we didn’t have fancy computers to make our cars run like winged chariots, and we didn’t have in-car iPod adaptors (unless you count the Tijuana Brass on eight-track), and we sure didn’t have…never mind. You whippersnappers today don’t know how good you’ve got it.

Movie Car: Knight Rider Car (KITT) Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 1982

Knight Rider is an American television series that originally ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern-day knight fighting crime. Michael Knight drove a sapient talking car with artificial intelligence. Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit.

The story begins when a self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the muscle in the pilot program of his Knight Foundation-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a Pontiac Trans Am controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where “direct action might provide the only feasible solution”.
