Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Trivia: As they race around the track, it's the same track later used in S1E4, "Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular."
Trivia: Even though William Daniels provided the voice of "K.I.T.T.", he was uncredited throughout the whole series.
Answer: I would say that unless there's visual evidence it was another K.I.T.T. car, as in you could see the bar scanner or cut steering wheel, people on here would correct the mistake by saying more than one 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am was sold and there's no reason it's meant to be a random car.
