Jason Cammisa on the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S 7sp - Vintage Motor Trend Ignition Full Episode 155

- This is possibly my favorite sports car of all time. Also, one of my favorite episodes to write and film: 4th-gear power slides; 110-mph wheelspin on a dry lake, and that NOISE.
The BTS stuff was insane. A Roach motel so gross one of our producers slept in the car: the rest of us slept on top of our beds with towels. 110ºF temps, no water. And the most dust we've ever seen.
Plus, the car was delivered to me with two tires that had structural failures. Thankfully, the Aston Martin dealer in Palm Desert (run by a friend/guy named Jason Cammisa, and I'm not kidding) got us up and running with no notice.
I asked Aston to sell me one of these cars at the end of this review, not having any idea how I'd pay for it. It's the one press car I still think about the most.

This video was uploaded as part of Jason Cammisa's professional showreel and portfolio as a writer, on-screen talent, and precision driver.
Vintage Cammisa is the only CZcams content that's up to par with Hagerty Cammisa.
And 5 minute top gear clips from 15 years ago

What about issimi cammisa?
"It's not about speed, it's fun." Wise words that hurt the feelings of every bench racer.
He's describing my exact feelings about my Boxster. I don't care that it's not the fastest one. It is so much fun to drive, and that is the only reason to drive a sports car. If fun wasn't a requirement, we'd all be driving Leafs.
Miata
yea
Jason, I love you and everything that you do, yeah sure Hagerty is cool, Motortrend is cool, but you YOU are the coolest. I'm a huge fan of all your work and seeing you finally being able to post your work here is amazing as that was literally the only reason I was still subscribed to MT on demand, I hope your CZcams takes off enough for you to maybe think about making your own content. You're amazing and I hope you never feel tied down to companies and brands to get your opinions heard and cherished. We love you you professional idiot!
Thank. You. ❤️
I couldn't agree more. Jason-You put out some of the most entertaining, thought provoking content in my car world. We appreciate all you do and how you do it. Bravah!
Could have not word it better no matter how hard I tried. Preach!
He reminds me of Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool. The comedic approach is similar. But hands down one of my favorite youtubers to watch. I can watch these car videos back to back.
“So you want a slow sports car?” -German camera guy
I laughed.
The most German comment ever.
"Bad German!!"
i grew up thinking Germans/EU's laughed at americans for using automatics.
Thanks for uploading these, used to watch them every week and I remember watching this one in particular. Was kinda sad when mt took down all of them because I really wanted to revisit your old episodes, you’re the best car journalist hands down
I agree
Same!!
هلا بالشباب ، تحسون جيسون فيه عرق عربي ولا ؟ من آل خميسه
Yes! I Only watched Motor Trend for Camissa!
Why did MT take them down?
Always wondered what a v12 Aston was like in the dirt. Thank you
Perhaps the inspiration for the DBX…🤣
This is somewhere between Hagerty Revelations and Icons. It's amazing Jason was delivering this level of quality all those years ago.
I still retain that that 6.0L V12 is the greatest engine soundtrack to ever grace the roads, it is orgasmic to listen to. I agree also that it's entirely a car that is about the experience and the FUN of driving. When you put your foot down and go for it, because of it's simplicity, it just charms and makes you feel incredibly special. so glad to be able to find and re-watch this after years since it was released.
This review is great, because it also defines the difference between performance and sport, a car to out perform competition, and a car to offer the exhilaration of maneuvering on a road obstacle
3:38 “ I have a German camera man”🤣🤣💀
7:30 you can see how proud he is of that transition deservedly so
I would never get bored of watching this video with that Aston. That's my dream car, and Jason sliding it, racing it on the track and the dry lake was pure perfection.
I’ve seen thousands of car presentations. This might be THE BEST presentation I EVER SEEN. Thank you Jason.
I'm going to lose my marriage if you keep publishing content this often, this good ...
Thanks for saving these episodes from motortrend's pay wall.
This intro and the one with the LC500 are my favourite ones. I was looking for them for a long time since they were removed but now they're back! Just Amazing sound!
Is Cammisa building his own channel up to eventually start posting his own new original content on it? Like Chris Harris on cars back in the day.
No. He has a budget with Hagerty.
These are old ignition episodes, this is one of my all time favorites
YES! Finally my favorite Ignition episode is back online, thank you Jason - for the upload AND the awesome review!
I legit just binge watched all of the other videos, thanks for uploading another one just in time! :D
Thank you so much for re-posting this video. The intro is the reason I bought my V8 Vantage.
This was my favorite video from motor trend, and I always was sad I didn't download it before it got taken down.
I'm so thankful for this.
i remembered watching this legendary shift at 9:09 like 100 time, i really considered subscribe to MT to watch this episode in particular, thank you for the upload
"BAD GERMAN!"
I'm gonna be laughing at that one for a while. It's not always that Jason's cracked sense of humor aligns so well with my cracked sense of humor.
I have been smling and laughing for myself for several days myself, 😂 it is a hysterically funny 🤣
@@tommern84 same here! Every time I think of it I giggle!
"Bad German!!". I laughed out loud.
So funny that you mention the Miata as a reference to having "fun while driving" because it probably is the best sports car you can buy today, that you can actually have fun with on normal roads, every day! When going shopping, commuting to work or just on your way to a nice coffee place (i.e. coffee run). If I had the money, I would gladly go for the AM Vantage, but for now, I'll have to settle for my ND2 MX-5! Cheers man, I have come back so many times for this video, just because it is like the sort of definition of FUN driving. Kudos Mr. Cammisa! ❤
Jason, your thoughts. I cant ever be more agree with someone. Amazing, thank you.
These old school uploads have been great thanks Jason. Keep uploading 💪💯
Nobody even pars with Jason's reviewing, and not only for his jokes and purist nature, but he openly defies what trends are trying to convince us with. As you watch you laugh, you get info, and be glad that someone, somewhere actually cares about driving, not catalogues.
wow........watching it roost all that dirt on that dry lake bed gives me goosebumps
Man, I just love you and your content. You are my inspiration, You're the only reason I love cars so much. You are a star and I hope the world realise that you are one of the greatest journalist of all time.
Jason is the goat of car reviewers
Fast forward a few years, and we just got the new Vantage V12, the last one ever, with turbos and no manual.
Insane, amazing, ridiculous, over the top, powerful, heart pounding and the most powerful out of body experience one can have on four wheels!!! The Vantage is amazing and only Jason has the passion to relay the message!!!
I love your reviews and humour and thank you for putting extra anecdotes in the description they are a blast to read
Jason cammina is the hero we need and don't deserve, lucky us we listen to him even if we are broke or terrible drivers we know he is someone who understands cars,and pulls out from them the best they can offer even more probably.
Thank you so much for uploading particularly this Vantage episode, I've searched for this video many times. this is the best car & best review.
The return of Slideways!! You’re the best car reviewer on CZcams!
THANK YOU!
Jason you are right, Porsche are more concerned about numbers than driving pleasure . This Aston is Awesome
6:30 The thing is, the Porsche 911 was always that. When the 911 came out in 1964, nobody who drove it talked about the "driving experience," they talked about how it was leaps and bounds ahead of the 356, which was already the benchmark sportscar of the day. The Porsche 911 then remained really at the forefront of sportscar technology (well until the 964/993 when that whole air cooled thing was aging, but the 996 set that straight). The thing is that older cars were just inherently more involving. They weren't designed around a driving experience, they were designed to go fast with the best technology of their day, and as a result, were more involving not by design, but by necessity. Modern sportscars, the 911 for example, do the same. They take advantage of the most modern tech available with the goal of creating a good sportscar. The end result isn't different due to any change in design philosophy, just changes in the ingredients list.
EDIT: And just to be clear, I'm not saying that's a good thing, its just what it is. There's a reason I drive a 996 with a cable throttle and no drivers aid other than ABS and fully defeatable TC (which you had to have to get an LSD on a 996).
Oh lord, i realy missed these. Please keep them online! That scream of the v12 with the music on it, oscar worthy
Quite simply the best person to go to watch automotive content. The car community loves you Jason! ❤️
I just took delivery of a 2015 Rapide S...This video inspired me back in the day to learn more about AM and to discover the Rapide! When kids are older, I might trade in for this Vantage. It's absolutely the right way to do a sports car!
Jason is the best car journalist of our time. And there are a lot of really good car reviewers now! Wait... When was this produced?
This is the most interesting car reviewer I have seen after Jeremy Clarkson, very original and lively . I am definitely seeing more of his reviews after this. 👍👍
Ew no!
The best script and copy of the car world 👏👏👏
FINALLY. OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I HAVE MISSED THIS ONE A LOT, LIKE A LOT.
My literal favorite car video is finally back!!!!!
Found you on hagerty and just going back in time with all of your videos, I can’t stop😅 I like a lot of auto journalists, and you’re definitely near/at the top along with carwow and throttle house. Such a great distraction from everything, perfect for my breaks at work and let’s be honest.. at work.. keep it up
My favorite journalist of all time, with one of my favorite brands of all. How the hell could anyone ever go wrong with an Aston Martin, especially a V12 with a Manual. Thank you my friend
I remember this episode when it first dropped. Still my favorite
If this is not THE best car review in history, it is on the podium. Medalist for sure.
It's so good, it's histerical.
One of the best car reviews ever. Thanks for uploading Jason!!!
I was waiting for this one patiently for so long. It gave me a dream and then motor trend took it away. Finally it’s back. Thanks Jason
Please upload the Chevy SS episode. Hope your CZcams channel takes off. Love your reviews. PLEASE keep uploading everyday. 🙏🏼❤
You got your wish!
Well now I don't want my 911 anymore, thanks Jason.
Being a German engineer I have to point out that your 911 is faster! ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
@@domiwer BAD GERMAN!! *taser*
Look, I dont know whether this is actual Jason's channel or not but I'm literally in tears watching these episodes again. So just wanna say thank you. Much love. ❤❤
OOOOOOHHHHHHH Jason THANK YOUUUU!!!!! You returned the smile on my face when watching a car show, first time after Top Gear that I'm enjoying watching car show.
I searched for this particular video a lot times changing search terms. Finally i see it. Love your stuff. Thank you.
Top Gear levels cinematography
I had no IDEA you loved the V8 Vantage so much. If I recall one of your crew eventually got one and that had a story there. Interesting!
The legend...brought up in every single Cammisa-Farah podcast
Curious if you regret not getting one
Kind of - I regret really not being able to afford one! (And thank you!)
@@JasonCammisa 😄😄😄 very nice
I bought one 2 years ago (used with 45 k miles) it's such an awesome thing, even though its been blowing holes in my pockets, the sound, the feedback, the way it looks, the way it smells, alongside everything you touch on the inside, a truly special experience that engages all senses. 0 regrets.
This is the BEST presentation of a car I’ve ever seen. Period. And I’ve see thounsands of them. You are my favorite presenter. Period.
Jason is the champ
Thank you for posting this! I remember seeing this video some years ago and this somehow always lingered in the back of my mind. Personally I think this is one of your best reviews. Also kudos to the producing/camera work/music! Cheers
Man! You are the only automotive journalist that non car people actually like to listen to. No wonder why that is
Best car presenter out there. Period.
This video should be required viewing for every horsepower happy wingnut with a car-related CZcams channel.
I sort of can't believe Im watching these stuff for free on you tube
Best auto journalist in history ❤❤
Jason the message behind this video rings so true. Chasing numbers will never replace feel and a manual
I’ve been searching this video for years now! So happy to see it again
The reason I bought mine. Glad to see the clips up again. Much love J
Keep 'em coming, Jason: these are 1MM vids in no time.
Loved watching these. Jason is a absolute gift to the automotive industry.
Ever since the re-uploads began, the Aston fanboy was waiting impatiently for this video. Thank you!
YES I WANTED THIS EPISODE SO BAD THANK YOU
These Remain Some of the Best Car Reviews , I Used to watch these all the time.
Jason nails another video thank you Jason give this man a damn raise people he is the one I want to see on MotorTrend he is the only host I care for thanks again Jason you’re fantastic my friend
you DESERVE millions of subcribers, BEST content EVER!
I liked the glorious V12 sound all through the review. Thank you for not messing it up with music.
Love this review, you couldn’t have said it better - what a car!
My reasoning exactly for wanting a manual in my sports cars - it's not about speed. It's about fun!
Brilliant. Keep bringing up the cars we should be remembering at this point of massive changes in the automotive industry!
This is still one of your best and most beautiful films..it stands true till the end of time. Joy, not 0-60.
@Jason wow man. Amazeballs. That you love E30 B25 and M44 then you absolutely get the song from the engines💞.
Love your work.
What great video. Completely agree about the ABSOLUTE IRRELEVANCE of 0-60, top speed, lap times yada yada.
I have an e12 m535i with a dogleg 5 speed, skinny tyres and plenty of power and it’s awesome.
Thanks for uploading as most haven’t seen these in the UK 🇬🇧
Fun video i had one of these and have gone back to the V8s as it steers better with less weight up front, particularly if you chase mountain roads not freeways. Fun cars and sexy to look at.
One of the few automotive journalists who understands that it's the feeling a car gives the driver. And the more the driver has to work, the better the feeling.
I’ve always said it…Jason is the best automotive journalist. Period.
Great video. Never drove the manual V12 Vantage S but i did drive the 2011-2012 V12 Vantage which only came in manual and was a 6 speed. Not the fastest but one of the most visceral cars ever. A league above the V8 Vantage and a lot cheaper, (but still six figures) than the 7 speed Vantage V12 S
It is cheaper than the 7 speed, so you won’t mind buying the 6 speed and not stress over the fact that there is not the 7 speed?
This is possibly the best and most fun car demo video ever! Don't make me get the TASER!!! 😂🚘 I want one of these now.
Jason these old videos are so lovely and havent aged a bit.
"Great video Adam Sandler" ahahahahahah, pure genius
This is fantastic work. Right up there with the best of Clarkson May Hammond era Top Gear UK.
I love cars... but I will never love cars the way that Jason loves cars. Inspiring
This is one of my favorites videos you made while at motortrend. Really made me want a vantage
I left MotorTrend when Jason did. There was a certain flare and enthusiasm that was lacking since.
I have a 348 and a 996 C4S(which I'm selling) and my V8 Vantage is above and beyond....I do just love these cars....
This video is awesome and it comes alive with the raceroom music :). Camissa is the best automotive journalist hands down
I love his enthusiasm and talent
I am not entirely sure what one is supposed to wear in an Aston Martin on a dry lake bed doing a car review, but i am pretty sure it shouldn't be a pair of shorts and a button down. And yet, there it is. Great review.
Agree! Manual... Love that soundtrack V12! 😍
