- Jason Cammisa - TST Podcast

[@markwei8108]

Jason has been on this podcast three times. Jason and Matt have argued about Aston's 6 speed vs 7 speed three times.

[@janezpungartnik3149]

Here's hoping for a fourth.

[@shingoose6197]

I could listen to Jason talk for hours (and I do)!

[@Raditram]

When Jason comes to the podcast, it's always hilariously entertaining.

[@trinisuprazee]

I wasn't a fan of Jason at the beginning but he has some good points on the stuff he spoke about I sub'd his channel. Really enjoying these podcasts!

[@anon5500]

It’s so nice to listen to you three that actually know about cars as they also unfortunately love cars, and have the same passion and views about cars as me... it makes me feel slightly better about using all my money on my two cars! Having spent nearly 25yrs working in high end dealers in the U.K. and luckily enough to drive most things with 4 wheels in that time, without having to work in the press writing about them (I don’t envy any auto journalist!! As most people don’t realise you aren’t being biased, just honest about said car, but fan boys that only think one brand makes the best cars in the world, simply don’t get that...) Anything with Camissa in is pure gold as he says things how they should be... and Matt & Zack also obviously! No more Dabs though...

On my 93 Honda Accord I have eibach shocks with a kyb strut... It lowered it about an inch but having a bad back, I could hit a speed bump at like 35 and almost not even feel it

[@Jushwa]

Such a sleeper podcast, you guys are the best ❤️

[@CPTFiXtion]

Does anyone know which episode with Jason that he did that amazing impression of an old Mercedes diesel?

[@dzelpwr]

Hah, as far as the 'best V8'. They're probably not wrong. Especially the LS family. As much of a Euro fanboy as I am (particularly of the VAG group like Jason) the LS family makes a lot of sense. Surprisingly lightweight and dimensionally compact for the displacement, makes great torque exactly in the rev range you use the engine in every day driving, is simple and surprisingly efficient. It's surprising, it really is. Though I will say, a friend of mine has a 2014 S6, twin turbo 4.0 V8, and he claims it will also do somewhere around 27 MPG doing 80 MPH on a long road trip. I'm sure the 8 speed auto helps, but that did surprise me. That's not a small, lightweight car like the Corvette is, nor is it as aerodynamic. Of course, it's lightyears more advanced than an LS, and the parts and labor costs to repair and maintain one reflects that. But man are they a neat bit of engineering.

[@JETZcorp]

I thought the S6 was actually really really aerodynamic. I've heard that aero on modern Audis is so good it makes a big advantage for things like Cannonball.

[@dzelpwr]

@@JETZcorp I'm sure for a sedan its size it's got good cd numbers, but the Corvette's are better and for sure has much smaller frontal area than the big Audi.

[@JETZcorp]

@@dzelpwr Just looked up the numbers because I was curious. The Audi S6 has a Cd of 0.29 and a frontal area* of 2.26m². C8 Corvette (non Z06, non Z51) is 0.32 and 1.96m². Audi CdA: 0.66 Vette CdA: 0.62 Small but definite advantage to the Corvette. I had thought the Audi was super slick, but it's the A6 which has the insane 0.24 coefficient, the S6 has more drag. * I wasn't able to find a frontal area number for a current-gen S6, so this frontal area is based on the 2007. The Cd number is for current-gen. Took forever to even find these.

[@evalonious]

Jason you're my age...mention Gilda Radner to me and I'm already tearing from laughter... These guys are the age of your little buddy Hyphen! Lol!

[@ryannitoi2993]

"everyone who I know who used to have a 3 series has a model 3 or GTI" funny enough a close friend had an m3, bought a GTI for the winter, then sold both for a model 3 perf

[@jdmandsuch6739]

I've also still had that suspension since just after high school so 2008

[@cruzinUSA_]

fuck this is good pod! ... my fav guest by far, so far...

[@wheelspinmanager]

[@JETZcorp]

Fascinating to look back on a podcast from after Covid started but before everyone started paying $20k over sticker for anything with wheels.

[@teej5619]

He's being sarcastic, that was hilarious 🤣🤣

[@dillonh321]

Get over it.

[@BoostedAkatsukiRiffs]

This guy rips bmws whenever he gets a chance but somehow lets audis have a pass when there cars are usually 2-300 lbs heavier than the comparable series bmw everytime, while also being awd, understeery, and generally bland to look at. Cars are getting bigger jason, all around. Cars are also losing their stick trans too. And 95% of bmw owners aren’t tracking their sports cars like they used too, if at all. These are the sad facts of life, but facts nonetheless, and you should come to grips with the reality you live in, sooner rather than later. Bmw realized this a long time ago, and they want/need to sell cars to stay alive, hence why they have to make each generation fatter, heavier, and stuffed with more gadgets/gimmicks than the previous gen, potentially at the sacrifice of the driving experience. I'm not saying this is a good thing for bmw guys or the brand itself, simply giving the explanation as to why they had to go in the direction that they did. In order to survive as a business, they have to appeal to the masses who possess more money than sense. They aren’t the only manufacturers guilty of this. Mercades, porsche, and Ferrari have all gotten massive over the decade, across their models, because that what the market dictated. You can lash out on here or on issimi, and lament about the fact that car manufacturers like bmw try and stay relevant with their consumer; Or, you can grow up, take a step out of your journalist bubble, and realize that if car manufactures like bmw didn’t sell enough of their "giant 3 series" to average customers with 1000 times less sensitivity to cars than you, there wouldn’t even be possibility for them to offer the M2 to enthusiast like you at all. Just saying. Maybe if car enthusiast made up a larger portion of the buyer pool we would have better leverage over manufacturers. But since we usually make up maybe 5% of the buyers market if that, and often tend to vote with our wallets via buying a 10 year old unique used car over anything new, manufacturers like bmw are forced to appeal to a more main stream audience that values different things than you or I do, in order to stay afloat. Don't fault them for trying to stay alive

[@nikhildrao227]

If you watched issimi..... You wouldn't say something this extremely stupid.. Jason loves Bmw and owns a wagen too and has also talked about how Audi has lost its shine in length

[@kristisrb]

All you said just confirm’s the point you try to argue and shows how unbelievably misunderstand the whole car market

[@BoostedAkatsukiRiffs]

​@@kristisrb why cus i said that most people who drive bmws don't track their cars? That 90% of customers in the market today go for gadgets and gimmicks over the driving experience? Yea keep telling me how i fail to understand the modern market, you guys are fucking twats. You understand enthusiast, but not the market. Everything I said in my previous post was beyond true, and its those factors that have precisely led bmw to focus on those superficial attributes of the car rather than the driving experience, which is what made them famous in the first place. Again I'm NOT saying that this was a good thing for car enthusiasts or the brand, I'm simply stating how things got this way. My original point being made was that Enthusiast turned their back on bmw, for better or for worse, and so they were forced to appeal to the mainstream audience, which is what they did to survive. Those people care more about what screen is used for their infotainment and how fast there car goes 0-60, rather than how it feels on a backroad or canyon, and so thats what bmw focused on more. I agree with Jason that their cars have gotten blander. What I'm calling out is a b.s double standard imo, that I see jason do all the time, is to constantly give bmw shit for being heavy trash sports cars compared to what they were, and then never seem to fault audi or mercades for doing the exact same thing. Audis are usually 200 pounds heavier than the comparable bmw series car today, not to mention being nose heavy and awd. How is that somehow a better sportscar to anyone on this planet? You’re delusional if you think it is, go fucking drive them back to back and feel what I'm talking about. But yea dickhead, you or jason for that matter really shouldn’t fault bmw for having to appeal to the mainstream when it was us car people who left them for other more unique car brands, and EVERY car brand in the market that competes with bmw has gotten fatter, duller, and packed with more tech over the driving experience, for the same reasons I gave you here. You cant blame bmw for trying to stay relevant to the masses, especially when all the other brands do it too, and enthusiast make such a small sliver of the actual market, and its a freakin miracle that any manufacturer offers cars with a stick anymore. And before you say Im some bmw fanboy, I've owned both c63 amg and b8 s5, I could care less for brand allegiance or what team I'm on. I just drive what feels good to me. And my m4 is pretty fucking sweet in that regard, my buddy prefers it over his rs5 too. Duces ✌️
