0-60 for the 304 V8 models was somewhat quicker than that, but still quite slow...
Still, it *was* lighter-weight than an FR-S, and with a factory 5.0 v8 there is potential!

Randall AMC in Mesa, Arizona modified new 304 V-8 Gremlins by swapping in a 401 mill with headers and adding a handling package and exterior badging. Available with a 4-speed manual or 3-speed TorqueFlite, this 2400-pound buggy was light on its feet, capable of running the quarter in the 13′s at over 105 mph. Just 21 were made from 1972-1974 and all this goodness could be your for just $2995.00!

Half the price of a (slower) Corvette, not bad! About where the FR-S is...
