Readers of Muscle Car Blog are already well educated about the new Knight Rider original NBC 2-hour movie to be aired this Sunday. We have posted a ton of news about the show as we were huge fans of the original 80's show starring The Hoff. We're excited about the upcoming movie and we hope NBC turns it into a new series.

With all of the the entertainment news shows and websites focusing on the actors, we here at MCB are all about the cars. We already know that the new KITT car is a Shelby Mustang GT500 KR that throws down 550HP off the showroom floor. But what makes the new KITT so special? What made the original KITT so special? It's that buzzing red light in the front, just under the hood. It's as iconic as David Hasselhoff when it comes to Knight Rider history. MCB Webmaster Chris Duke recently had the opportunity to sit down with the inventor of the new KITT LED red light scanner for an exclusive interview. We wanted to learn everything there is to know about this new light scanner and find out what else he's up to.

Our interview is with Pierre Hoffmann, President of Auto Indulgence, Inc. based out of Lomita, California. Pierre's company is well known for its work on designing and installing lighting in the movie "2 Fast 2 Furious" and several episodes of "Monster Garage". Pierre also happens to be a good friend of ours, working together to promote his California Jamboree PLUS car show events over at our sister-site, Truckblog.

Improved Handling with Anti-Roll Bars
More in: Suspension | Comments | Permalink | 744,839 Views

Any enthusiast worth his salt knows that tires have arguably the biggest impact on a vehicle's handling. Obviously, however, there are chassis dynamics that extend beyond the realm of tires. Once you increase the traction threshold at the road surface, then you may be ready to take the next step into improved vehicle handling: reducing body roll through the use of anti-roll bars.

Properly chosen (and installed), anti-roll bars will reduce body roll, which in turns leads to better handling, increased driver confidence and, ultimately, lower lap times.
