New Knight Rider TV show...New KITT too!

[Soup DeVille]

1. You must have never seen a CRX tarted up with full Mugen aerodynamic enhancements...

2. The accelerative force (actually the time derivative of that force) from the cam changeover would be more than enough for time travel, while getting better gas mileage than the Trans Am, further adding to the life of the show...

You mean the Jerk?

Naww, that aint how it works. The vehicle has to cross a finite  amount of gravitational flux in a set period define by the discharge rate of the flux capacitor at in order to charge the flux capacitor.

Theoretically though, 88 MPH would be a variable dependant on your current position on the earth's surface relative to magnetic north.

this should be the next KITT

Why the hell would KITT be a Cooper S with no wheels??

I love how the blurb in the top left says "Action-packed action!"  That's hilarious.

this thread just made me throw up in my mouth...

a black Z06 is the perfect new KITT

Nissan has come out with a version of VVL that varies the amount of lift infinitesimally. Imagine VTEC, but instead of 2 cams, you have an infinite amount, from near zero lift to max. Honda may be coming out with this system as well.

For posterity's sake, please note that MG Rover had a mechanically-operated infinitely-variable lift and duration system (via eccentric discs) in production back in 1993.  The Lotus Elise was one of the beneficiaries.

I think you're right.  It would be even better than a Trans-Am based off the new Camaro.
