KITT vs Christine

[MichaelC]

The arena floor has been replaced by pavement for this fight. Which car wins?

[Cyke]

Christine's regen is considerable, enough for her to come back from several attacks by a bulldozer. While KITT is advanced and powerful, I don't think it can generate as much force as bulldozer (though I could be wrong).

On the other hand, KITT is way smarter than Chrstine, who was more like a primal animal while KITT was highly cultured, sophisticated, and tactical.

Christine...is going to have a hell of a time tagging KITT, and if she does, it really won't do a lot.

KITT, by contrast, is going to wreck Christine again and again, but it's not going to stick.

.....

I'm guessing that unless KITT can manage a 10-count -- which is entirely possible, he has literally flown through KARR ('Turbo Boooost!') and reduced it to debris -- Christine is going to win this one through sheer, raw endurance (and KITT literally gassing out).

...then The Car is released into the arena and basically destroys them both. ^_^

Ah yes, KITT's armor plates are pretty formidable. By contrast, and necessary to show her regen, Chrstine has the armor of a regular 1950s car. Which isn't much.

KITT no-sold all manner of bullets and even rockets through the show, and did at one point literally ram itself through KARR; though if I remember, KARR was slightly damaged due to KITT bouncing back its...I don't know, laser beams, maybe?...so there was a structural weakness. Even so, that's still going through a mildly damaged version of itself and blasting it to pieces.

But Christine basically came back from being completely wrecked.

So...10-Count seems to be KITT's bit possibility for a win, from where I'm standing. Otherwise, Christine should basically outlast KITT. I can't recall how fast Christine regenerated, but I do remember that at one point it was actually regenerating in-scene, rather than 'off-screen'.

Mileage, it may vary, and I'm open to being proven wrong; we're talking about stuff I saw 35-40 years ago. ^_^

Yeah, the bulldzoer won thanks to its literal weight advantage. How much does KITT weigh? I can't imagine as much as a bulldozer since it has all those flying stunts.

I see what you did there!

I'm pretty sure KITT probably weighed...not so much. However, the speed at which it could hit would be considerable; even in a short distance like the arena, it wouldn't have a problem driving circles around Christine and slamming into it with it's nigh-unbreakable body. The thing was fast, even before going into 'super pursuit mode' (yes, I am serious).

Also, there was that silly 'Turbo Boost' button that Michael could hit that really wasn't a turbo boost; rather, it turned the car into a (highly durable) flying rocket for a short period of time (basically, those flying stunts you mentioned). Turbo Boosted, I recall that KITT went through brick walls. As mentioned, it went through KARR when KARR was doing the same things, so they slammed into each other (blowing KARR to pieces, I might add, due to KARR being slightly damaged to begin with; KITT came out of the impact in perfect shape). Etc. I figure if it hits Christine like that, it's going to tear Christine in two.

But is that enough? How quickly does Christine make a comeback? If she's moving by the end of a 10-count -- doesn't need to be perfect -- it's not a 10-count.

I don't know! ^_^

I see what you did there!

.....

I swear, totally unintentional. O_o And yet, so fitting!

KARR..damn...talk about your deep cuts. How cool was KARR’s voice??

My young mind was (and still is) blown away by KITT destroying the monstrous KARR.

I mean, how often do we see homicidal suicidal cars with lasers that talk like James Bond villians?
