Realistic Slot Cars: More Work Than Fun?

digital_slotcars
To me, these realistic slot cars from Hammacher Schlemmer seem to digitize the fun right out of an enjoyable pastime, but they are bound to be some people’s cup of tea.

Along with racing around the track at ludicrous speed, the operator will need to keep an eye on the fuel gauge, and time pit stops appropriately. If you “fill up” with fuel, your car will run more slowly, and if you tear into the pit lane too quickly you will get a one lap penalty.

The cars, a Ferrari 360 GTC, Chevrolet Corvette C6R, and an Aston Martin DBR9 each feature an on board chip that makes the “magic” happen.

Price: $499.95 [Oh Gizmo!]
