[@HeadoftheTable101]

Only thing this car is missing is the knight rider scanner

[@loucostabile]

Nice :-)

[@obola1115]

rob scorpion well originally knight rider was an ugly ass 80s gutless firebird, not a bad ass looking 500+hp shelby lol.

[@The2Coolest2]

@@obola1115 Are you sick in the head?

[@TheMJKnight]

Fine looking KITTstang

[@loucostabile]

Hi MJ Knight, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Lou

[@TheMJKnight]

I did indeed. I am fond admirer of the Mustang. And seeing this, which was the car used as KITT in Knight Rider SG always puts a smile on my face

[@anthonylaudano9435]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY IN THE NEAR FUTURE WHEN I BUY A 08 KR IN VISTA BLUE AND THEN I WILL HAVE ALL OF THE VERSIONS OF THIS BODY STYLE STARTING WITH MY 07 SHELBY GT AND MY 08 GT500 AND MY 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER AND MY GRABBER BLUE 10 SUPER SNAKE COUPE AND THEN THE KR LOL I LOVE THE 05 09 MUSTANGS.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Anthony, Sounds like you have some fun cars. Hope you're behind the wheel of the right one for you soon, Lou

[@mollysummerrock3916]

My dad has a 09 Shelby GT500KR and man it’s awesome but see it’s not the 40th anniversary edition

[@loucostabile]

[@richhill4343]

Absolutely gorgeous. I think they made 328 Ebony Black KRs of the 1011 total made in 2008. Still have the ducts in the original box as they have never been installed. Wonder where the model is that they gave to the new owner. Car cover with the VIN in it is pretty cool too. 540 HP is pretty much unusable since the tires like to just break free. I think the two window stickers are cool too. $80K for a Mustang, who would have ever thought? Fortunate enough to have Shelby sign glovebox and arm rest ($250 each fortunate). My favorite new Mustang. Thinking of Laguna Seca next.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Sharon Peters, High praise for this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you'll enjoy, Lou

[@ashqelon7267]

Yes, brutal HP and most tires on these tires are incapable to grip". I have a very original 1969 Firebird RAIII 4sp car. Redline tires w OEM 14 inch rims, At 2000 RPM, my Redlines melt under the simple basic factory HP torque. This car needs high traction Drag slick compound tires. Even then this car is Very dangerous due to rear tire traction issues.

[@bubbadude316]

Awesome looks so Badass love it

[@loucostabile]

Glad you "love" this one :-)

[@285rt]

0272, you got me beat. mine is #305 ! They are track cars. Mine shuts off @ 160 ?

[@loucostabile]

Hi 285rt, Happy to read you have a cool car too, Lou

[@josephromano6825]

Winner Lou! Nice ride!

[@loucostabile]

You have great taste in cars Joseph Romano :-)

[@davidschneider2054]

No no KR stands for Knight Rider lol

[@loucostabile]

Ohhhh. NICE!

[@malikcutchin]

If I could learn would totally add the lights where the vents are and learn how to make him talk

Lou Costabile np stay safe and be careful

[@billpeirce7127]

Nice mustang.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Bill Peirce, Happy to read you enjoy this Mustang, Lou

[@andi_s8576]

How much cost this mustang?

[@loucostabile]

No idea.

[@hakeemk5120]

What type of trim lines

[@loucostabile]

GT500KR 40th Anniversary

[@anthonylaudano9751]

I highly doubt the hood cost 20grannd. Both of my 07 and 10 supersnakes.I bet my life on it that my hoods don't cost 20grand a piece and I know for a fact the supersnakes are more valuable than the KRs

[@BH-nf5lv]

Anthony Laudano it actually did, mainly to keep people from replicating them. It’s $18,400

[@loucostabile]

Hi Anthony Laudino, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou

[@anthonylaudano9751]

The hoods were never 20grand I know that for a fact. I own 4 shelbys. I know the history. You can get a hood for 25hundred bucks.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Anthony, Thank you for viewing & sharing your knowledge, Lou

[@AmericanBulldogRocky]

Did i hear right its 20,000 dollars for a new kr hood?

[@evanfraley08]

That is hilarious, embarrassing false info on the $20,000 carbon hood....

[@77magnuss]

Yeah, and SVT stands for “Special Vehicle Systems”....

[@loucostabile]

Hi ROCKY, That would be quite expensive, however I do think that is what he said, Lou

[@baynes1baynes557]

Man I'll be driving the shit out that KR no time for car shows

[@loucostabile]

I like driving them too.

[@billpeirce7127]

Did not think they made a 500 kr. They did not make a kr in the 20th century. Will hv to check with ford. Jst Shelby Gt 500 and Cobra jets. Pluss he did not work for 40 years. Stupid vedio. Love the hood.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Bill Peirce, Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lou

[@77magnuss]

They did make a KR.
