I disagree. The car is going into production late this year, for introduction to the market in 2009. Quite a bit too late for the shows production. They's got test mules for various stuff, but they aren't going to build a one off sample for a TV show. Is also isn't exactly Transformers with a budget that can get Saleen to build a couple modified Pontiac GTO Camaro-look-alikes. When you factor in that Ford would pay money and neither car is a Grand Am anyway....

Should have been a late 90s black firehawk.
(the one on the left is a 99) Faster and meaner.

I'm probably a bigger F-Body fan than any of you here, but the bottom line is GM doesn't have shit out for "cool tv cars".
You can't do a new camaro because transformers already did it and you can't really double dip for this type of application. I suppose they could use a corvette but eh, that just wouldn't work, it's a different kind of car and market. It's a continuation of the original series and you really need an in production car and as much as I would of loved to see a 4th gen LS1 T/A they haven't been sold for 6 years. I hate mustangs as much as the next GM guy, but it worked, and I thought the show was enjoyable. MORE HOFF PLZ! |

KITT = hotT. I liked the movie, the story worked well with the original and wasn't over the top. Screw GM!
Double dip or not, I am sure it came down to who paid more. I am sure a Camaro would have been used if GM dug deeper. It isn't as much the writers choice as it is the marketing choice. Last edited by Ghryphen; 2008-02-18 at 03:21 PM. |
