Hi Stunters!
At last, after some years later,
KITT finally arrives to STUNTS!
Although 3rd gen "Pontiac Firebird Trans Am" base car used in series between 1982 and 1985 were mostly powered by 5.7L V8, in Stunts era I found appropriate to use an 1989 "Pontiac Firebird Turbo Trans Am 20th Anniversary version" 3.8L V6 Turbo as a base car for this incurrence, mainly because it was on one of the fastest 3rd gen through the model production years. Performance figures were were based on detailed information in the review found in:
http://www.gtasourcepage.com/8920thTACDReview.htmlbut since this was a KITT version, performance tunning had to acomplish (as much as possible) special features like: better grip, more breaking capacity, and inclusion of the pursuit mode*.
The "Pursuit mode" is only available in Manual gear box leaving "Auto" gear box for normal/"real" base model acceleration figures. To activate Pursuit mode, accelerate further the "normal" redline (5250rpm), e.g. accelerating in 1st gear at 50MPH, in order to get high reving torque values. With power rating up to 3000 HP (@11000RPM measured by "Caredit3"), 245MH is fastly achieved.
The 3D Modeling was made over Corvette's base, using
Anim8or, with KITT blueprints as reference:
https://getoutlines.com/blueprints/10112/1982-pontiac-firebird-knight-rider-kitt-coupe-blueprintsThe two paint jobs included normal black KITT and a black/grey KARR colour scheme.
The dash board was made from scratch using several pictures from the show:
http://knightrideronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=127993It shows manual gear box console rather than a auto gear box console (like it should be in KITT), a functional digital speedometer and a simulated bar type tachometer trough 5250rpm (real redline) although it has a visible up to 9000rpm scale.
Well, descriptions aside, I hope this creation can live up to the fans of this car in the STUNTS world.
And now of some pictures attached:
