Some say that four wheels are better than two, but I say that two wheels are cooler than four.
This AMC Gremlin, on the other hand, has four wheels, but primarily uses two of them, as it’s driven by a guy who goes by the nickname of “Wheelie King”. So, you might imagine that this isn’t a regular, funky Gremlin. Come to think of it, it isn’t even a regular drag racer.
It has a nitrous-fed AMC motor in it, which makes 1,300 hp, and according to its owner (Brian Ambrosini), the little muscle-packed automobile is an actual drag machine, capable of running the quarter-mile in 7.5 seconds “all day long”. Still, he removed the wheelie bar to have a little more fun with it, transform the Gremlin into a wheelie-hungry automobile in the process.
In fact, wheelies have become the car’s strong suit, as it’s capable of performing 600-feet (182.8 meters) wheelstands. And judging by the owner’s adrenaline-fueled temper after performing the stunt, the car is a hoot.
The little Gremlin sustained some injuries during its runs, but nothing too serious for keeping it away from the drag strip.
