Not me. KARR was more entertaining. Although I'm still trying to work out exactly how KARR was a 1988 Formula, and the prototype for KITT, the 1984 TransAm.
     

     Maybe the makers of the show just assumed that no one watching it would be into cars. That's kind of how I feel about Star Wars and Star Trek. I figure that Lucas and Roddenberry never thought that people who knew science would watch their shows/movies, hence the glaring science errors such as the famous Kessel Run parsec, and aliens that look like humans with bad makeup.

As for games: Swyndle took about ten seconds to drop KITT and KARR into the PC versions of Need for Speed once he discovered that you could modify the skins and geometries; his look a little better than the Davelix version.

     Aye, I wasn't that impressed with the Davelix renders either. Hopefully things will look better the closer the game gets to completion.
