My Other car is a Gremlin

Hey! Wait a minute! I had a Gremlin!

It was the best car that was ever given to me.

When modified they're actually kinda fun.. I even hold a racing record with one of them.

Hehe. Yes, it's a citicar.

The record is a 1/8 mile drag racing record for a 48-72 volt modified production electric vehicle.

So what was the 1/8 time?

what about a 1/4 time? or was the cord not long enough

Haha. 15.106 seconds at 42.93 mph. I could have done alot better if I put together a battery pack that was only big enough to go 1/8 mile. The battery pack I had was good for about 30 miles. Without batteries the car only weighed about 600 lbs, and I had 500 lbs of batteries. 100 lbs of batteries would have been plenty for 1/8 mile, and much improved my time. For vehicles under 96v, they only record 1/8 mile times because by then you're going about as fast as you're going to be going, and the second 1/8 mile will just be cruising.

The reason I went for the record with a non-optimized car is simply because there was no record yet. It's held for 4.5 years so far.
