The rear has too much tint. Other than that it's good.

That lucky bastage gets to drive everything that comes down the pike.

There was also a Knight Rider commercial on lastnight I hadnt seen. Says the car has 550hp, blah blah blah.

Interesting, the cars are actually GTs that were converted to KRs.

Ken,
How do you get a pic of your car on your signature area?

Now we have to standby for Knight rider clones to flood onto the site [8D]

All those visual mods, and they don't even touch the mirrors with paint. At least to my eye they don't.

I've seen plenty of better looking cars on these forums.

Yeah- but can they talk, and be remote-controlled up to a mile away...? :)

AND can they drive by themselves? Can they have emotions and make wiity comments about your shoes? Can they drive in front of you to shield you from a hail storm of bullets when you're immobilized and on the ground? I think not.

Edit: Btw, sweet video. Car looks great and it sounds FANTASTIC. Leno that lucky SOB... he's not even that talented.

Jay thought it had 400hp! I thought he knew cars. But it looked like he had fun did you see all the skidmarks on the road!

The attack mode looks like it came straight out of the Fast and Furiously franchise...

He's been too busy jerkin off to pics of the new Camaro.[8D] The guy definitely leans to the GM side of the force when it comes to domestic cars. I've seen a few vids of him talkin about the upcoming Camaro....but none of him checking out the Challenger or new SE Mustangs.

Actually.


Look at the cars he has in his garage. The domestics he does have are mainly fords/dodges.....

He also owns a Shelby Mustang & 70's Challenger.

That's not all the cars he has in his collection........unless he's unloaded a bunch of them in the last couple of years. I recall a few years ago they did a little interview with him showing off some of the rides he owns....and there were more than a few 50's, 60's, and 70's GM muscle in there. He did show off the GT350, but spent great length talking about his GM specimens. Not to mention his website is sponsored by GM.

But hey, maybe the stuff I've seen of him has ended up making him seem pro-GM from the editing. I'm sure the guy loves all manners of automobile....no doubt. I was just making a glib commentary on his apparent relationship with the big automaker.....which may or may not exist. I'm just judging on appearances.[&o]

But come on.........you can't make me believe someone who obviously loves cars (and American muscle) as much as him didn't know that the new GT500 was a 500+hp factory car. Even the most diehard GM guys I know could have told him that........nearly two years ago.[8D]
