    The Side Scoops are OK, the Ricer Wing has to go and the Lower Side Skirts will be gone after the first Speed Bump.

    LOL...speedbumps, that car and several other lookalikes will probably be flying through the air like Elanores were in Gone In 60 Seconds. :laf: I wonder how many new Mustangs will get trashed in making the episodes.

    Several if they use 'rubber-band' tires!

    I guess they aren't sure if they're going to use polished or painted wheels

    I am surprised that they did not use a new Camaro or Challenger. Remember the original show started just as the Firebird was getting a complete make over. This body style Mustang is starting its 4 year of production. I guess that makes 4 years of 6 cylinder bodies to be dressed up for crash and jump scenes.

    It won't be long and Ford will release a Knight Rider special edition Mustang.

    The non-tricked out version is much better but I guess it's not flashy enough for showbiz!

    The only feature of the tv car is the blacked out wheels.
    That would be a good option to have on all the current shelbys.(mainstream, not something on a new supersnake.)
    I love the blue on the 08 gts, however, i have always though that a set of the black wheels of an 07 gt would look much nicer. Thats the way i would have it!
    Just my two cents,
    Vern

    I totally agree. Next generation Mustang fans will be cloning Knight Riders.

    I think it looks good. Reminds me of a Transformer. Great looking Mustang cop car in that movie too. I was a Knight Rider fan. This is going to be a big thing for the new Shelby MArket and FORD. Great PR. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO LINK 6S524

    All of the 07 Shelby GT's I have seen had Black Bullits on them.

    The Mustang Cop Car in the Transformers Movie was a Saleen. I just saw the second "Triple X" Movie with the "NEW" Cobra Prototype in it (Saleen built 3 for the Movie). I hate Computer Generated Movies.

    The black cars had Black bullits, the white ones have polished bullits.

    What i have always wondered is why the shelby gt in the upper left hand corner of this thread bas polished wheels on it?
    Must have been a preproduction prototype?
    Always kind of made me curious.

    Those maybe those Razors that I have seen on a few Shelby GT's. Here is a pic of the lot outside of Shelby.

    I know that all the production black cars had black wheels.
    Those just dont look like razors to me......probly just a mistake.
    I do know that the factory puts razors most of the time on the supercharged cars.
    Best REgards,

    Correct Vern, that picture is the prototype Shelby GT. It also appears that photo is reversed.

    Vern,
    I don't see ANY Shelby GT at the Start of this Thread. I see 3 Photos of the Shelby GT 500KR. BIG BIG Difference. So far, the ONLY pic of a Shelby GT in this Thread is shown in Post #17.
    David.
