KITT vs the James Bond Car


KITT vs the James Bond Car, KITT would win. The James Bond car has machine guns, oil slick, tire knives, a bullet proof shield in the back, and a front passenger ejection seat. KITT is faster, has lasers, turbo boost, the entire car is bullet proof and bomb proof, not to mention its got artificial intelligence. KITT would clearly win.

Can KITT turn into a submarine though?

reply

The classical James Bond car does not turn into a sub. James Bond did once use a car that went underwater, but the signature James Bond car, the Aston Martin DB5 seen in Goldfinger didn't do that.

Are you talking about the Aston Martin?

You forgot to mention K.I.T.T. can also use TELEKINESIS. A car with telekinetic ability is destined to win of course.

James Bond's car is like a primitive proto-version of 'an amazing car'.

K.I.T.T. is a sophisticated, cultivated version of the real thing. Of course a caveman car is going to lose.

Christine had telekinetic powers; it could bend its own damaged sheet metal back into like-new condition, and could even transport broken glass pieces from the ground back into their original position as a whole piece of glass and somehow meld them back together (which is telekinesis plus some other supernatural power).

I wonder how a normal Trans am vs Aston Martin of similar eras stack up against each other in the sophistication stakes?
Classic Italian styled magnesium-alloy body , all aluminium engine putting big power out

vs a wheezy V8, an eagle tattoo, and some leaf springs

And KITT is based on a production-line Pontiac Firebird and is driven by a lifeguard. The Bondmobile is a hand-made ASTON-MARTIN, the David Brown 5, driven by the greatest superhero on earth. Hmmm. Let me think . . .

In a battle of trash vs. class, I pick class every time, and I don’t look back.

The Devil said that in The Devil’s Advocate, more or less.

We’re not talking about the cars here; at least, we should not be. We’re talking about the end results. Overhead camshafts vs. pushrod V8? 50/50 weight distribution vs. 60/40? (People who know cars know what I mean.)

You seriously think that Mitch is going to fuck James Bond up?

Good luck with that.

How’s the Knight Rider movie doing?

Oh, wait a minute . . . then shag off.

Its no comparison. I'd take an Aston Martin over a Pontiac any day
