You are right. They only had 2 Trans Am's for the Pilot episode. However,
throughout the series, they had many different cars. Some were even
remote
controlled (also stated in the Season 1 Commentary). The series destroyed
many Trans Am's. Not nearly as many as "The Dukes of Hazzard" destroyed
Dodge Chargers, but the "Dukes" also lasted almost twice as long as Knight
Rider.
