Following a rather heated discussion in the office the other day( not much work on !) we came to the conclusion that KITT would come out on top in a duel with Airwolf. Any replies to back this up or discredit it are welcomed. Thanks

Bravo, Encore bluejerseyyankee ,lmao that was a great video esspecially the part taken from whatever episode with String going "I'll get you son of a B****" and stars shooting at him lol, hilarious. It's also more entertaining and more creative then any "recycled video" clip type of show in Airwolf season 4!

airwolf wins hands down kitt couldint beat airwolf one rocket from the lady and kitt is no more end of
shareKITT would defeat Airwolf, no question.
Now what's way more interesting is: who would win in a fight between Mimi (from "Riptide") and Airwolf?
I'd say Airwolf woould win against KITT. But what about Blue Thunder vs. Airwolf?
shareBlue Thunder was just a helicopter with a chaingun. It wouldn't stand a chance against Airwolf. Airwolf would also beat KITT.
Now here's the real question. Stringfellow Hawke vs. Michael Knight, hand to hand combat. I think Knight would win, since he's very adept with martial arts, whereas Hawke just uses brute force. Knight is also larger and stronger.
Good Lord! Really? This is even a debate?!? Exactly how is KITT supposed to take down Airwolf? Wouldn't happen even on KITT's best day.
shareAre you forgetting kitts super persuit mode wich can reach speeds of 300 plus miles per hour i know airwolf can go just as fast but can airwolf hit a target so small at such a speed i find it would be rather difficult
rational thought can be alot like denial
True, but Airwolf is equipped to take out aerial targets travelling at Mach-plus speeds - and KITT can only do 300mph while sticking to the road. It would all depend on whether KITT's microjammer or flares were able to scramble Airwolf's missiles.
(Good God, I can't believe I've just sullied this debate with a vaguely serious answer ...)
You guys are insane. KITT would use his smokescreen to cut down any visibility, then microjam airwolfe. Done deal.
shareThe smoke would be useless, the microjammer would not work.
Anyways, MacGyvers Swiss army knife would kick both their asses, and reassemble them into Mecha-MaccGyver.
Blue Thunder vs Airwolf = Blue Thunder
Actually, Blue Thunder would only win depending on where they were fighting. If it's an open space, i.e. the ocean or open sky, then Blue Thunder's a sitting duck. If it was a heavily-built metropolis (i.e. L.A. or New York) however, then Airwolf's speed and missiles aren't going to help much... all Blue Thunder would have to do is hide behind a corner, hit the silent mode, wait till Airwolf comes tearing out, and hit his tail rotor with the chaingun.
Do you really think Blue Thunder would be able to hide from Airwolf? All Airwolf has to do is get high above the city, spot Blue Thunder from a mile above and nuke BT from orbit!
shareArguably, Blue Thunder could thwart Airwolf's chances of a clear shot by ducking and weaving around the skyscrapers of the city. Plus, we know that if it was a heatseeker, Frank Murphy could always find a suitable barbecue shack somewhere to hide behind :-D.
Otherwise yes, Airwolf would have no trouble spotting BT, but a direct hit could be tricky.
If Airwolf can shoot down a fighter jet in air-to-air combat, I don't think it would have trouble taking out a car doing 300 mph.
Besides, if you are firing a heat seeking missile, it doesn't matter if the car is going 300 mph. The missile will just lock on to the exhaust or heat from the engine, home in and boom! KITT is on its way to the scrap yard.
In terms of absolute firepower Airwolf would be a win, however the Airwolf was most susceptible to a computer virus Dr. Moffett placed in the code.
If KITT could upload a virus into the Airwolf KITT would win.
One of teh basics of helicopter combat - Hide, hover and then pop out of 'nowhere' to unleash upon the enemy before they even know you were there... or some other such quote from Wings Of The Apache and any other helicopter combat film.
That's one of the main advantages of a gunship over anything else.
Add to that all the different sensors, the very heavy armament, the range (easily 30,000+ feet), the speed and everything else that Airwolf has and KITT (much as I love him) is utter toast.
I watched both series from start to finish and most of the spin-offs and I never saw anything that suggested KITT stood a snowball's chance in hell of beating Airwolf.
As for Mike vs String - If it mattered that much, I reckon String'd just shoot Mike dead.
Failing that, in an outright hand-to-hand, Mike has the physical advantage but String has far better technique and overall approach to fights.
Most of Mike's moves are evidently over-choreographed, whereas String's hits are all delivered at moments when the opponent is open. It looks like a boxer did Airwolf's fight choreography, while Knight Rider had a dancer or a film fan.

Except the Airwolf has a "lock-on" component, something Hawke used a number of times. 300mph means nothing against a craft that can easily keep up. Even if KITT managed to elude the first few attacks, he couldn't keep it up. You're also forgetting that Hawke is one of the best pilots around.
Again, KITT has literally zero chance of beating Airwolf. Zero.
Airwolf vs Kitt.
I think it would depend on the situation. There are many factors to deciding the victor. To those that want to say that Airwolf could just blast Kitt from the air, while this is true, I for one would not be out in the open waiting to get blasted but hiding in a cave where Airwolf couldn't get me or would have a hard time getting me. After all, Kitt was a supercomputer in a car but Airwolf was a war machine.
So, I think we need to have the Deadliest Warrior decide who would win. We take all of the info from both shows and plug it into their computer program and see who would win most of the time.

Knightrider - the poor man's Airwolf.
The Jack Putter Machine, zero defects
Oh yah well my daddy can beat up your daddy!!!!
shareEveryone's missed the one true factor that would determine who won any of the match ups. Whose scriptwriter is making the battle take place?
Let's face it, if their writer is scripting it, Strawberry F'ing Shortcake could take them all down, take down Megatron with a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick, and not break a sweat (all the more likely, because with 80's animation, it wouldn't look right). But I don't think she'd have a good action catchphrase, so Jimmie Walker would be brought in as a special guest star to say "Dynomite"!
Actually, there can be no doubt that Superman could run faster than the Flash any day of the week.
