Yes, the C6, would look AWESOME!!! Considering that Saleen isnt' even past the clay model stage, yet, I doubt it's even in the running.
However, stopping and thinking about it, the Shelby may have been chosen for durability reasons: It's gonna have to hold up to jumps, drifts, all kinds of abuse. Most of the stunt cars will be dolled up regular GTs, I'll bet. You know, something you can afford to crash.
If Bond can go to BMW, Michael Knight can go to a Ford.
Especially seeing as a Vette, with its FRP body would be shedding bits on each and every jump.
While I'm a Ford guy, I have to say Found on Road Dead is a misnomer as most cars and trucks found on the side of road 'round here have blue symbols on them, but they are not ovals....
A ZO6 doesn't make sense either as KITT. The only car on the planet that makes perfect sense is a damned Trans-Am. I don't care if they take the new Camaro and fab-up some fake Trans-Am panels either. A Vette and Mustang should NOT be KITT--regardless of performance and what company they come from.

- Oh, man. We are all out of ideas for a new show. What do we do?
- How about resurrecting a classic show. We'll just rip it off!
- Knight Rider it is! But wait, we need a car, but Pontiac isn't pony up the $$$ for using their discontinued used car....
- We shopped around, and Ford/Shelby will give us most $$$ and support!

I think this show is created by a bunch of lazy people with lame ideas. The car picked the show, and not the other way around. I'd be really surprised, if this show becomes a hit.
I mean that the original image had the Mustang with silver 'le mans' stripes, whereas the original K.I.T.T was just all black.
While I don't agree with a new K.I.T.T being a Mustang/Ford, at least they seem to be going back to all black like the Pontiac.
KITT can "transform" kinda similar to how that Viper could on the show, eh, Viper. There is the "regular" one, a fast "persuit" one, and then there is supposed to be some kind of weapon one too. That is, if I understood the press release correctly...
I wish the original voice was back...William Daniels. Instead its this stupid boke:
The voice of KITT will also be none other than Will Arnett, husband of Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler and ex-alum of the TV show Arrested Development.
I thought about watching it even though it will be a train wreck in progress but since they're going to use Arnett they instead should all be shot... oh and I won't be watching it either. xD
NBC are ruining it.
