Despite looking fast the 1982 car really wasn’t. The best engine option yielded 165hp which is fine for normal road traffic but for serious track?

But that’s why engine swaps were invented and I’d very much like to see this in game.

And also because it’s the Knight Rider car. Not KITT but closest possible.

Why not just wish for the Knight Rider Two Thousand (KITT) … - I would love to drive KITT

I duno about the rest of the community but I’d love to see the formula get added to horizon

Pontiac Firehawk

I wish they added the 91 SLP Firehawk. It would be a great opportunity to introduce a new version of the third gen without looking and performing the same.

Alternatively they could replace the current model for the next game with the 91 Firebird Formula 5.0 HO strictly with a 5-speed this time because the 4-speed is hot garbage. The gear ratios are terrible and the only choice is the race transmission which eats up too many PI points

For the Third Gen 'Bird, I Recommend.

1982 Trans Am Recaro Edition (Liftback, LU-5 “Crossfire” 5.0, THM200C 3 Speed Automatic, T-Tops, Bowling Ball Wheel Trims over Hi-Tech “Turbo” Alloys, WS6, Black and Gold Paint, Hood Bulge “Mini Bird” and Recaro Seats) as, if you go back to “Knight of the Pheonix”, the TV Movie that Started “Knight Rider”, Michael Long had a Nevada Spec Recaro Edition T/A, which was then Rebuilt into the Knight 2000. Now we have KITT himself (Oddly with the S1/2 Dash when, due to the SPM Bodykit, he should have the S4 Dash…the Scanner needs an Animation Update as well, its Sweep is too Slow, it’s closer to KARR’s, KITT has a Faster Sweep (See “Trust doesn’t Rust”) , he is also down on Power, 510 from an LS3 when he should have 2000 from an 8 Chamber Turbojet (Capable of at Least 65MPG but with the Actual Mileage Classified to “Prevent heart attacks in Detroit” ) , and only 6 Gears when he should have 8! he also needs the Distinctive Voice of William Daniels taken Directly from Episode Recordings… if KITT Returns for FH6 (Please!) , we need some Serious Updates! and “Turbo Boost” Mapped to L3!) we need his Base Car.

1985 Trans Am H.O. (Liftback, Aero Package, Borg Warner T5 5 Speed Manual, L69 5 Liter with “Manual” Cam and Computerized Q-Jet, WS6, Flat Hood with full Size “Screamin’ Chicken” Hood Bird, and BBS Cross Laced Rims) -

1987 Formula (Liftback, LB9 TPI 5.0 with Manual Cam, Borg Warner T5 5 Speed Manual, Solid Roof, WS6, W50 Two Tone Paint and Hi-Tech “Turbine” Rims)

1987 Tojan GT (Wood Paneled U52 Digital Dash, LB9 TPI 5.0, Borg Warner T5 Manual, T-Tops, WS6)

1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am (AA8 Notchback, T-Tops, U52 Digital Dash, GNX Turbo V6, THM400R 4 Speed Automatic, WS6)

1991 SLP Formula Firehawk (Competition R Package with Aluminum Hood, Composite Wheels, Ferrari F40 Spec Brembo Brakes, Lettered Firestone Firehawk Tires, Firehawk Door Decals, Roll Cage, Corvette ZF 6 Speed Manual Gearbox, 366 Cube Alloy Block “Rodek” V8 with 380 Horsepower, and Solid Roof)

All the Hits!
