Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter. Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 300 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and b…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-28T06:17:47.677713+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942"},"episode":{"title":"Can The 911 GT3 S/C Be A Real GT3? — The Carmudgeon Show w/ Jason Cammisa & Derek Tam-Scott — Ep 234","slug":"can-the-911-gt3-s-c-be-a-real-gt3-the-carmudgeon-show-w-jason-cammisa-derek-tam-scott-ep-234","published_at":"2026-04-20T15:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942/can-the-911-gt3-s-c-be-a-real-gt3-the-carmudgeon-show-w-jason-cammisa-derek-tam-scott-ep-234","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HGM4915679859.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HGM4915679859.mp3","summary":"Today’s episode will not be a surprise to anyone who follows the automotive news cycle - because of course we’re talking about the 911 GT3 S/C! In true Carmudgeon-form, Jason and Derek pull apart the blasphemous, recently announced Porsche GT car and discuss whether it’s worth the hate, or better to hate on the haters. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before this - Jason gives an update on his recent battles with finishing his 1996 Volkswagen Cabrio VR6 swap (Mk3), rooted largely from OBD-II getting in the way of the car passing California smog testing. But really - what is OBD-II, why does it matter, and why can it make engine swaps a total nightmare? Derek and Jason discuss (and moan upon) the variables, including how to do drive cycles, set monitors, and stay sane in the process. To add fuel to the fire, Jason discusses the Cabrio’s latest clutch slave mishap that almost left him stranded before a rally with friends. And putting a nail in the tire of Derek’s 964 Porsche 911. On the subject of 911s - and cabriolets - Derek then explores the origins of disdain on the new GT3 S/C. Interestingly - Porsche is not the first brand to go about taking the roof off a track-focused road car variant - citing the rather cherished existence of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spyder 16M, the 599 Speciale Aperta, and the 458 Speciale Aperta. Not to mention - if Porsche is making a convertible GT3, could they also bring back a Speedster too? Time and speculation will tell - but not without Carmudgeonation... Tune in for more!
