Nelson Racing has a knack for creating cars with extreme power, and the case is no different with this 1969 Camaro. Not a humble car by any means, the Camaro is now a monster commanding 1750 horses through its twin-turbocharged engine. The twin turbochargers make it easy for the car to tap into its huge resources of power early, and as much as it may seem like a track-only drag racer, this Camaro is actually road legal. Checkout the video after the jump, if only to hear the roar of the mighty motor.

As the East Coast welcomed 2010, Travis Pastrana took off in his Subaru Impreza WRX STI and jumped over freakin’ 269 feet of water in Long Beach. Pastrana landed on a barge floating 200 feet off the beach pier and he completed the stunt live on TV. With the huge jump, Pastrana created a new record, moving ahead of Ken Block’s 171 feet jump. As ESPN says, he made it look easy. The man completed the stunt with such finesse that it looked almost “normal.” Checkout the video after the jump to see the stunt.

Garia claims to be the most exclusive “Golf Car” in the world, while that may seem like a lofty phrase, the golf car indeed has a few interesting things to speak of, mainly a faint connection to some of the best automakers in the world. It boasts.

Garia claims to be the most exclusive “Golf Car” in the world, while that may seem like a lofty phrase, the golf car indeed has a few interesting things to speak of, mainly a faint connection to some of the best automakers in the world. It boasts of things like an F1 car-like double wishbone suspension for the front, drivetrain from the same company that produces gearboxes for Ducati, aluminum body panels from the same company that does the job for Aston, Jaguar and Volvo.



Another claim to fame is that it will be produced at the Valmet Automotive factory, which also produces Porsche Boxster and Cayman. The car will have a built-in refrigerator and hand stitched seats for the interiors. Garia is a street legal vehicle and will be available as an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle). It is scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

This amazing miniature train has 150 meters of track and was created entirely from scratch, and all that took 10 years. The owner of the train loves model railways and modeled this one after a train he loved as a kid. He started work on the model train after his son Takahiro was born, and went on to create this cool, steam engine powered train. The steam engine requires coal that they feed to it using mini shovels. Also, the model train looks totally worth the effort, and the duo must be very proud riding it. Video after the jump.

A number of technologies for the car are in the offing, those that would either assist the driver, or provide additional safety. While we have been looking at the good part these innovations will bring forward, there’s another side to the coin, and we guess no one’s as good as the people at Cracked to get that point across. Take a look at the full article there, but we’ll get you started with a quote:

”Cars have come a long way since the days when they ran on four hooves and were called “horses.” Since then, we’ve innovated the electric motor, fuel injection and decorative rubber scrotums. What could possibly be left?”
