Jason's vocabulary is very impressive, and he always uses words as they should be used. Just that little exchange about 'higgledy-piggledy' demonstrates his facility with words.
I’ve commented numerous times on the work Anthony and Jason put into Hagerty. Hearing that Anthony is an outstanding time manager who orchestrates shoots based on the minute puts me in further awe of the work and effort you guys have invested in those shows. Again, thanks!!!
I always wondered how these surreal drag races were filmed but of course had no idea it would be THIS CONVOLUTED to make it happen. Madness. Thanks to Hagerty for making these possible! I need to join Drivers Club…
It was wonderful chatting with both of you Saturday at Radwood. Both of your cars were incredibly unique and very cool. Every year Jason's shorts somehow get even shorter. They are dangerously close to being Magnum PI nutters. ❤
To everyone involved in making these conversations i just want to say thank you. Every week i see one of these i think "oh thank god, their still at it". Keep it up lads, its much appreciated.
In high school one of my friends had a mom who ran an ambulance service and had a fleet of them. Her personal vehicle was a Tahoe, decked out in EMS gear, lights, and stickers but her front fender had HBIC stickers spanning them
This has honestly been one of my favorite episodes y’all have done. I would love to hear more about how difficult shooting days are for you two. Best automotive podcast out at the moment!
All the behind the scenes is so cool to hear. The amount of races you guys did to make it a perfect video deserves all the applause I can give. Thank you for consistently making such incredible videos.
Thanks for existing you both and thank you for entertain us all. Thanks for explaining so into details that one can fly with the imagination to your "workday" and points of view. Mondays are now in equilibrium thanks to Carmudgeon. My respects!!!
Derek, I cannot wait for the V550/V600 video! There is such little content on it and imo is one of the most interesting cars ever made, even though it's rather shit (in the best possible way). Hardly anyone quite realises just how insane it was/is. Only the F1 & CLK GTR were more powerful (HP) in the 1990s. I also believe it was the torquiest road-car ever built too? It took Aston 10 years to make another car more powerful! Truly excited for the video
50:00 I'm really surprised that the facility managers didn't speed dial the police. I mean, trespassing on a closed track is one thing, but reckless endangerment of children is enough to get CPS involved. Lady doesn't need to have kids.
The only other car that is twin supercharged than I know of was a two-off 427 Shelby Cobra, one of them for Shelby's personal use and the other one sold to Bill Cosby if I remember correctly
I've owned an E34 M5 and an M119 powered W124. The M119 W124 does run hot, they are known for having cooling issues in hot ambient temps. The hack is to unplug the temp sensor for the electric pusher fan on the front and center of the motor, under the front part of the engine cover, then the aux fans run all the time on full speed and not only above 110ºC when it would normally kick on. The M5 gauge reads accurate, when I had a failing fan clutch the temps would fluctuate within a small window like you'd expect.
Well, at least one Urus buyer doesn't care about speed. I was stuck behind them on a local backroad (suburban 2-lane with a few curves...no canyon or anything like that). They drove 10-15 mph below the speed limit on straights and terror braked for every curve.
Reading the Mercedes service manuals, the W124 M119 fan clutch is supposed to kick in at 82 degrees C (regardless of whether the AC is on or not). On 129 and 140 models, the fan clutch will engage at 98*C. My 400E has not exceeded 95*c in heavy gridlock traffic with the AC running and 80*f ambient temps.
Not interested in speed?!? Cancel my order for that Evo Spyder, Lamborghini. Wankers. Love you guys. Thanks as always for being the highlight of my Monday.
Your viewers don't care about not seeing the cameras especially when it becomes your focus. Will trade more car content for practical race footage. Anyway, Great video
I think “hodgepodge” might be the word you want. Looking forward to the new episodes. I just experienced a version of that Escalade V’s engine over the weekend taking my friend’s ZL1 1LE out in the canyons, and I might be changing my religion because of it. I’ve always thought I needed a lower-power, high-rev screamer of an engine to find automotive transcendence, but the way that LT-4 has an over abundance of power everywhere yet still pulls harder and harder all the way to redline is something I find incredibly joyful. And for something that sounds like a dirt-track racer’s small block from 40 years ago, it’s remarkably smooth and refined in operation. I simply adore this engine.
Car wow has consistently disappointed me. They’ve messed up comparisons with muscle cars so many times. Manually shifting automatic cars, driving them poorly (aka getting worse numbers in a drag race then I’ve gotten on the street in a quarter mile with a similar car etc). It makes me question their methodology because if they are screwing up the cars I know best, are they racing anything the way it should be? I can’t know. Big rant to say Drag race replay > car wows super casual content anyday!
"Do we do it like Carwow..." Yeah don't do that. They have good ideas, but I don't care for the actual videos because it's more like amateurs having fun rather than explaining things, despite them saying, "So what exactly happened?"
As well produced as Jason's drag races are, the problem is that they look totally fake. All that extra work to make it look fake? It just doesn't make sense. And the viewer figures versus Carwow only serve to underline that. I think there's probably a happy medium with higher production values than Carwow, which is pretty skanky, while giving the impression you're actually seeing what the cars can do and did do. The problem with Jason's races apart from looking fake is that I'm not sure I trust the visual gaps shown. I don't doubt the numbers quoted, but I want to see how much one car gaps another and the race footage is so overproduced and fake I don't trust the gaps shown are actually the gaps the cars create in the real world.
What a great irony that I test all the cars, scientifically, and adjust for standardized weather conditions - only to be accused of having it look fake.
@@JasonCammisa That's the point. It looks fake. There's no irony given that you can't see all the testing in the video. Just lots of effects and production processing making it clear that you're not watching a real run. As the viewer, all I can see is what's int he video. And the impression is not hugely authentic, albeit the production quality is high and the scripting is nice. I'd just roll back a little on the effects and CGI and tilt things a bit more toward visual authenticity.

Great joy. My favorite bullshittery couple 😂

Both Koenigsegg CCR and Zenvo TSR/TS1 were twin supercharged V8s

Next time you see him, he'll be sporting a yellow speedo and Birkenstocks. Avant garde that man
Now I really appriciate the quality of the show it's unbelievable ; Mad Respect
I love Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott. Period!
I love the V600, it is one of the coolest Aston’s ever. It’s definitely on my powerball winning shopping list.
To everyone involved in making these conversations i just want to say thank you. Every week i see one of these i think "oh thank god, their still at it". Keep it up lads, its much appreciated.
I don’t watch BTS because I know the cars. I watch for your story of the car.

Aw man. Monday mornings are always better with these two.

A carmudgeon on my birthday? I’m honored!
Happy (belated) birthday!

Jason I very much appreciate all your effort
Interesting fact motorcycles, usually, do indicate the correct oil temperature, instead of just holding on the middle
1:03:39 Tisk, tisk Hyphen. Thinking about the Raptor got you slurpin'...
some might say this is a Ultimate Drag Race BTS with DTS
This drops every monday after work for me and I love the timing.
After? Dam respect. I listen to this on my way to university 😂
@@davidparnell6272 it's not like I'm a first responder working night shifts, just a Euro-based 9-5 wageslave :D
Today I learned that Anthony Esposito is the wind beneath Jason's wings.
The More You Know 🌠
Ha!
can’t wait for the vantage v8 BTS w DTS. such badass, absurd, ugly-beautiful curiosity
If you ain’t first you’re last.

Listening to you two talk about boost makes me wonder what electric driven boost will be like when it comes into its own.
Making Mondays tolerable. Keep it up guys, we love this stuff. But also take time off for yourselves!
I can’t wait to watch all these episodes!
The only other car that is twin supercharged than I know of was a two-off 427 Shelby Cobra, one of them for Shelby's personal use and the other one sold to Bill Cosby if I remember correctly

You mean this BTS episode is going do so well since I don't know what that car is and I am dying to find out !

Don’t know if it counts but the Lister Le Mans Twin Turbo, Lister’s 50 bonkers Jag XJSs, were twin supercharged and made 600ish horsepowers
20:16 yes I get that its called “Carmudgen” but look at my username… I’m getting more and more interested in learning what DTS’s aviation job was like
Some of us do know what those Aston's are mainly those who read old British car books and old Top Gear I'm guessing 😅
Second! I always perk up when an episode is posted up!
Your viewers don't care about not seeing the cameras especially when it becomes your focus. Will trade more car content for practical race footage. Anyway, Great video
Hypen in Jason's Cudrr?
Eww
Zenvo did Twin superchargers on the TS1
Early Koenigsegg was twin supercharged.
How is it decided that a new car deserves an ICONS episode as opposed to a CUDRR feature?
It's when I think there's a larger story to tell or the car deserves a zoom-out review that others haven't given.
Add a clip of the Escalade and Raptor so we can hear it
😊
Kinda strange question but how much do you think the car market would react if the Sultan of Brunei’s car collection was sold off?
That's a Derek question, but with billions in value, there's no question in my mind there would be quite a ripple effect.
Tell us some more funny stories about Randy Pobst…..
Seriously! Randy needs to be on the show every now and then.
Was one of the early Koenigseggs twin supercharged? I vaguely remember something like that.
All hail the algorithm
I think “hodgepodge” might be the word you want.

Complaining about 104 F? That is a typical summer day in a Texas city. You better get used to it because they say everyone in CA is moving there.
Jason must not like the Volvo 850 wagon
It is because all your old cars are either made by Honda or Porsche ;)
Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with Hyphen on the HBIC race: the Volvo 850R is the real winner there.
Higgledy-piggledy - in confusion or disorder

What was in Jason's water?
Is it Urus or Anus?
I hope the kids post the video so you guys can chase down the woman and scream at her
So F150 Raptor R or RAM TRX
Damn! Second?
Volvo T8 Recharge engined cars slam shift soooo goddamn hard during launch mode it‘s hillarious. Sounds like the goddamn trans is about to just leave
"Do we do it like Carwow..." Yeah don't do that. They have good ideas, but I don't care for the actual videos because it's more like amateurs having fun rather than explaining things, despite them saying, "So what exactly happened?"
First!
Did I just hear him say Lamborghini Anus ?🤔
It's been a hot minute.... 2 weeks.....
