Did you know...
The original Kitt was going to be a 280ZX?
The producers originally had the ZX cast as Kitt. GM got wind of it, and talked them into using their unrealeased (at the time) new '82 Trans Am.
I went to a geek Knight Rider site to check my facts but according to them, Nissan approached Glen Larson but he wanted the Trans Am. I'm pretty sure they are wrong (I remember this from an article I read back in '82 when I owned a '78 280Z and really wanted a ZX turbo).
On a side note. When I got my '83 280ZX turbo, I took a friend for a ride. After I nailed it so he could be impressed by the power, he said "Damn, but where is the turbo button?" I had to explain to him that you don't hit a button and get throw back in your seat like in TV. He as very disappointed and I still give him shit about that.

That is some funny stuff! I bet he still feels like an idiot for saying that. I once had a kid ask me how he could "turn his turbo off" on his 300ZX to "save gas on the highway". Silly people.
