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":"Carrera RSR IROC: The Sensory-Overload Porsche 911 — The Carmudgeon Show w/ Cammisa & DTS — Ep. 220","slug":"carrera-rsr-iroc-the-sensory-overload-porsche-911-the-carmudgeon-show-w-cammisa-dts-ep-220","published_at":"2026-01-05T16:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942/carrera-rsr-iroc-the-sensory-overload-porsche-911-the-carmudgeon-show-w-cammisa-dts-ep-220","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HGM4338064580.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HGM4338064580.mp3","summary":"2026 has begun - and we’ve already had a healthy mix of highs and lows. But Carmudgeonation carries on, this week bringing along some pretty heavy metal that ISN’T an IROC-Z Camaro - rather, the 1974 Porsche Carrera RSR IROC. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Jason is nearing the finish line on his MK3 VW Cabrio VR6 swap - with much of the car torn apart and roughly put back together again, he discovers a fatal engine flaw that will put him back quite some time. While the VR6 runs, a bastardized time-sert has cracked the head - pushing Jason to make the decision to go big and begin the process of a full Techtonics VR6 engine build. But not all in the land of 6 cylinders is lost. Derek and Jason kick off the new year by driving an iconic race car that happens to be road-legal - the 1974 Porsche Carrera RSR IROC. A car they both agree, is perhaps the most extreme 911 either of them has ever driven. The story goes - in October of 1973, Roger Penske took delivery 15 of special 1974 cars in Riverside California, which had been built to his order. He acquired the cars to participate in the first ever International Race of Champions (IROC), which was actually a series of four races, three at Riverside in late October and the final race at Daytona in February of 1974. The cars would be driven by a dozen of the best racing drivers in the world, hailing from different racing disciplines including Indy, Can-Am, NASCAR, and Formula 1. In the hands of George Follmer and Mark Donahue at Riverside International Raceway, this particular car won twice - more than any other of the 15 cars it competed against.
