Jason Cammisa on the Porsche 911R - Vintage Motor Trend Full Ignition Episode 161

[@evanneiswanger]

Jason, on behalf of everyone… thank you for uploading these

[@emmanuellehuu8818]

I second this comment, thank you Jason, we love you

[@SpyderRios]

I doubt it's him uploading this videos.

[@ToshkenboyAbdullayev]

100%

[@TheZisco]

so true !

[@maverickphantom005]

Indeed

[@rmpph]

It sucked when Jason left MT, it sucked when MT left KZbin, it sucked when MT on demand dropped Ignition and H2H, but at least Jason is bringing back some of the magic here and on Hagerty!

[@bigguy2057]

Very true!

[@RG2022-a]

I suspect H2H and Ignition were dropped because he left. Was never as good without him.

[@simonhudak3763]

Especially when MT is unavailable in Europe

[@ANGRYREDOWL]

Jason Cammisa is hands down, without question... the best American auto journalist of all time.

[@JasonCammisa]

Big compliment - thank you!

[@rmp5s]

"...not exactly pleasant, but it's honest." Man...we need more of this in the automotive world. That is SO spot on and, in our current world of fake engine noise, touch-screen everything, \and soft-limiters, a car that isn't afraid to "be itself" really is an amazing, unique, glorious thing.

[@richardbrayshaw570]

One of my all-time favourite car reviews. I've watched it several times over the last few years, which is weird. Who watches a car review more than once?

[@mrflippant]

To be fair; I'm pretty sure a lot of us have seen every episode of CHM Top Gear at least two or three times...

[@nishantpatil1247]

That sound test at 7:15 was brilliant, car enthusiast love those kinda details 💙

[@karstenbonnaire2706]

It’s crazy to me that it took engineers so long to figure out that people care more about the experience then about the stats. Good to see it’s finally happening.

[@JamesonToper]

Engineers knew the whole time, the accountants didn't. Mercedes lost the battle to the accountants, they aren't drivers cars anymore as they now appeal to the general population and keep solid margins.

[@ScottO84]

Besides Jason and the Throttle House guys, there's basically no one else I'd rather watch review these cars. It's rare to find people that are so natural on camera, skilled behind the wheel, knowledgeable enough to present the finer engineering details, and charasmatic enough to keep you watching and wanting for more. I can't get enough of these episodes.

[@farishanafiah8461]

Chris Harris, Henry Catchpole, and Jethro Bonvingdon are also worthy examples.

[@a.arahman17]

Carlos Lago too!!

[@OttoBiography]

i love it that he calls this episode "vintage", like fine wine.

[@nolanngo2652]

Thank god this has been reposted, this is one of the greatest videos in automotive journalism history.

[@steffenschilling2844]

Really hard to comprehend that Jason filmed this episode mere 10 Minutes from my home. Wish I'd been there that day ❤ Keep up the great work!

[@VleuSantiago]

YES! This review of the 911R is the best out there so Thanks Jason for keeping copies! :D

[@jrf607]

There's just something so special about the 911. I've only had the pleasure of driving a 996 Carrera 4, but even that is an incredible machine. Amazing video as always, Jason!

[@e36s50b30]

That means you drove pretty much much the worst of them all. There is really a lot left to be discovered.👍🏻

[@4444aliraza]

Thanks for keeping it real

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

@@e36s50b30 so true..... He will probably jizz his pants and gain mental illness when he drives any good 911........ That's also a Testament to how good the 911 is..... That even the worst is still amazing....

[@AtownCangri]

This is the reason why Porsche has always been and will always be the benchmark of sport cars. They understand what makes our ❤ tick. That 911R is absolutely brilliant!!! Thanks Jason!!!

[@scareyaf]

Oh my god it's on KZbin free now. Thank you Jason, this was one of my favorite videos of yours and now I get to enjoy and share it with my friends. Absolute legend.

[@TwinTurbo46]

My first thought when you rotated the car, before taking the right fork was "Jason, you madman!" Love these videos! Don't stop. Brings joy to my heart!

[@SpruceCreekTraders]

I was thrilled to see that a bunch of Cammisa reviews from the past had been uploaded...certainly my favorite automotive journalist, as most others are as dry as a popcorn fart.

[@SHOOTITFilmPhotography]

Can we please make this man the mandatory tester and reviewer of ALL awesome performance cars????? No other tests/reviews even come close. I must have watched this video at least 20 times. It's like watching your favorite Hollywood movie over and over :)

[@subutaynoyan5372]

This and his Aston Martin Vantage-S video are the height of automobile reviewing

[@kidvolcanodotcom]

Would love to see more of these "old goodies" while waiting for new stuff. Thanks for uploading. A fellow bmw driver.

[@kent570253]

I hope they paid you well for this video, because you are the best. You, Liberman, Lagos and Pobst was the golden era.

[@zindrickburns4267]

This is my favorite episode of ignition by a long shot. So good

[@rosslisle]

One of the best pieces of automotive content I’ve seen is Jason revisiting the Bugatti Veyron, went into detail about facts about that car that I’ve never heard before. This dude is seriously underrated as a motoring journalist.

[@Early8Q]

And one more thing about the specific 911R you were testing: no black wheels, no special bright color (the green stripes are pretty cool though). Like you are saying, it’s about the driver’s experience, not the voyeur. Beautiful!

[@shidous]

Thank you so much for reuploading these Jason, they remind me of my early days as a car enthusiast!!! Also, how would you compare the 991 GT3 Touring Manual to this one?

[@JasonCammisa]

Welcome. Same basic car, just 500 rpm more and better-sorted limit handling.

[@biditnow8869]

[@markbrown7115]

Jason, Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. These are some of my favourite pieces of content in existence, and Ive done everything i could to watch them whenever i feel down and need a quick pick up or whenever i get nostalgic. Unlimited praise for your work on these videos (especially this one this might be my 11th or 12th re-watch) and for putting them here

[@alisterhemmings8121]

Seen your other videos....came across this while getting ready for bed and had to watch. This car......on an audio level....is like the 90's and 80's cars I grew up driving in and some of the older ones....I LOVE this car...and it's MANUAL!!!!!! Love the video man

[@threeer02]

Great…now I have a new “unobtanium” dream car. Felt like I was right there with you at every turn. The 911R hits all of the right notes and is a tribute to what a true driver’s car should be.

[@ACSMezz101]

Thank you so much for the re upload. Miss these a lot and most of all not on a slow ass website that makes you pay for the pleasure of waiting.

[@michaelschneider-]

+1… As a life long Porsche fan/owner I’ve watched J. Cammisa drive the pants off this 911R a thousand times.. Living vicariously through others. . . .

[@macattack57]

This was my all time favorite piece that you ever did at Motor Trend Jason. I just love everything about this.

[@Zarcoil]

Mr. Cammisa, greatest empathy embraces me. Thank you.

[@pascutia]

Thanks for this, Jason! The only reason I was getting those trials on MT was to watch these episodes done by you. Very few other automotive videos illustrated and described the experience of driving a car better than your content.

[@t850]

...never a boring, off the mill, review with Jason. Most of us will never drive or see this car, but hey, at least we could hear the all the funny noises it makes. Interesting approach on that one!...:D

[@janson2911]

This is one of my favorites episode of old MotorTrend

[@evanneiswanger]

Crazy to think this was 6 years ago. It’s aged well

[@4g5y]

amazing! thank you, Jason! missed all these great reviews when it came out initially. And I am watching them all back to back now. And I still get to learn many new things about these great machines through you!

[@AMcompton101]

OMg i miss this video... This just showed up on my feed. It was probably a highlight of ur nerdiest moments at the time and it made me a true fan of your content. This was when you were WAY ahead of your time.. best part is when you were quiet to listen to the Servo motor, the injectors, and hear the throttle opening. Ill never forget it

[@Cameron_Baillie]

Thank you Jason for sharing this content daily!

[@m0stafa]

I've been looking for this video for a few months and I felt it was totally removed from the internet, I opened my youtube today and I find out that it is re uploaded and waiting for me in the recommended section 🙌, one of Jason's top reviews.

[@2091015]

Thank you for uploading it back again! I was looking for this exact video a couple of months ago, but has no luck. Happy man again!

[@subutaynoyan5372]

This definetly is the best car review I've seen in this video format.

[@lastrasp]

So glad this is back! Killed me (well almost did) when this was taken off KZbin.

[@tarunsatishkumar1103]

Thank god for re uploading this, it was one of my favorite ever videos I've seen and I don't even know how many times I've watched this!

[@whitest_kyle]

I saw a 911R at the Exotics meet in Redmond, WA a couple years ago, surprisingly nobody really noticed it but I stood there staring for quite a long time.

[@TheJumboJetDriver]

Two people who have been never been so excited about this car- Matt Le Blanc and Jason Cammisa! Great energy...they are like that nerdy kid who enjoy every little bit about this car!

[@hadiyousef]

My favorite video from Jason. Thanks for reuploading.

[@GuilhermeAtencio]

[@xro1589]

The start of this video! OMFG!!! Awesome! Same as the whole clip.

[@gmain1977]

Great review Jason, 911R is best 911 in years ,sounds great and Manual

[@edwardching827]

Oh my, Jason did a really good job to bring up what's enjoyable of the car. I never see anyone shows the engine noise in such details, but I love it! Good job Jason!

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Wow. Jason is back. One of my favorite American reviewers (Randy Pobst ranks up there as well). I don’t know why guys like Jason, Chris Harris (my absolute favorite, Because he is a proper driver), Randy, or even someone like Tanner Foust don’t have BIG KZbin deals with regular channels/companies that go for more than a year or 2. Everyone is jumping around, going silent for large periods, etc. seems like between the streaming services of netflix/Amazon etc and the youtube channels and how much people love cars, there would be more organization and order to it all

[@HushPuppy-be8it]

Jason, I’m not going to lie I was disappointed when I saw you originally replace Carlos, but your humor and passion quickly made me forget about that. You’re the best car reviewer I know and you made me want a Scirocco but I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen.

[@TheMarko57]

Great Job Jason Cammisa, hope to see many more videos from you!!!

Jason, awesome to find you on KZbin, I’ve missed you on automobile magazine from many years past. Your review felt like my review of a Porsche 911 R - You’re mean review being great much better.. I’m still driving my 944S. It’s an awesome car.

[@alexandremartins5147]

Such a great enthusiasm talking about this car. Car guy's emotions. Awesome content, fellas.

[@DroneStrike1776]

This is the best review from Motor Trend. Ignition and H2H was such a great show with Randy, Carlos, and Jason. Roadkill, DED, even Epic Drives was great. Good ol days, now they pretty crappy. Jason, you should do a Epic Drive reboot. Road trips in enthusiast cars. The Grand Tour does it all the time, and their huge, why not you? You're probably the only person I can think of that can pull it off. Comedy, creative, informative, entertaining, and with the quality videos you're creating lately, it'll be a film of cars, nature, and history. Who wouldn't want to see you drive to the Grand Canyon in a 911 GT3 or cross country in an Aston Martin or a C8 Corvette. Make it happen, Jason and Hagerty.

[@BTGaremberg]

@Jason: I absolutely love that you have saved and now upload old golden clips. 🥳 Do you also have the one with M4 F82 GTS?

[@GabrielSTEFAN943]

This is when I fell in love with the 911 in my teens

[@thedrivebygg]

Really great video, loads of great angles and engine noise. I was lucky enough to take a look inside and out of one for my channel, not quite lucky enough to test drive one though. It’s such a raw sound, and the gear shift motion is the best in any car, made specifically for this car. The only thing I was surprised at was the soft limiter at 4k rpm, on a car like this, it’s a crime. Anyone who can afford one should own this car at least once.

[@rommac1907]

Thank you SO MUCH for reuploading your videos at MT, now that I can see them again I realized that I’ve missed them quite a lot. 😃👍❤️ So you can tell us now, what did you break for the intro sequence? 😁

The 3 best motoring journalists are Clarkson, Harris (before Top Gear homogenised him) and Cammisa. It’s good to see you’re back reviewing cars instead of waffling on for an hour.

[@Archived_Rem]

I drive a 992.1 GT3 RS *non weissach*. I sold my ‘13 911 997.2 Manual to replace it w/ this. ITS A MONSTER. Revs out to 9,000 RPM W/ 7 GEARS. It NEVER wants to STOP accelerating. Foot to floor going, I am already at ~145MPH when I’m leaving 4th gear into 5th gear, with all of 5th, 6th, and 7th to GO. This is probably more comfortable, but that 8500 Rev out wouldn’t work for me because I’ve already seen the light 😂

I remember watching this video like 4 or 5 years ago, when Jason was on another channel, never again saw the video on youtube. Happened the same with the Porsche GT4, it was a yellow car with manual transmission. Maybe you upload it too?

[@code0662]

Jason you sir are a national treasure

[@richgallagher725]

Jason, this concept reminds me of that 5th gen Z28 you reviewed forever ago. The manufacturers get away with building a model with cheaper interiors with cheap plastic throughout, all in the name of saving weight, then they get away with charging A LOT more $$ for a naturally aspirated version!
