Religion of Speed: Recent Episodes
Matt Overstreet
Religion of Speed is your home for all things grassroots racing and automotive culture. We are not about big money builds, we are about the people in their home garage building something cool with what they got. Each podcast we will cover automotive news that matters to the grassroots racer/car enthusiast, have on guests from the industry/fellow racers, and tell you ways you can get out and have fun with cars without breaking the bank.
You may be wondering, where have you all been. Its a long story, well not really, its a shirt story. Around. We have been around. But we are back in a new studio now and back to doing the thing we love most, talking about cars. Join us as we discuss the continuing decline of the manual transmission, the SUVification of the world, and the pureness of the Miata that will get us through all of it.

Oh boy its another news heavy episode! In this episode Matt, Kris, and Aaron sit down to discuss some interesting car news including the Toyota Camry's discontinuation in Japan after 43 years of sales, the Camaro's potential return as an electric vehicle, WRC in Tennessee, and Germany fully embracing the E-fuel future. Of course there is also talk about mass transit and old Chevy Lumina's cause it wouldn't be the Religion of Speed Podcast if there wasn't.

On this episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast the crew sits down and plays a game we call Track, Daily, Crush. In this game each member of the crew brings three cars to the table and we debate which one we would take to the track for a day, which one we would park in our garages, and which one we would send to the crusher. Of course we couldn't make it easy on each other and some lively debate is had.
Also on this episode we cover Hamza's recent trip to Bosnia, the future of the manual transmission, and look over the insane entry list for the 2023 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
On this episode we catch up on the news of Ford coming back to F1, Jay Leno hurting himself again, more bad news for the used car industry, and even more bad new for Kia/Hyundai. After that we all sit down and pick our top 4 racing drivers of all time that we would put on the Mt Rushmore of Racing.
Its been a few weeks since the passing of Ken Block, but having some time for it all to set in we sit down and talk about what he meant to the car world. There are also other things to talk about like wrecked Supras, Electric and Hydrogen powered 86 Corollas and Frankie Muniz's return to racing.
On this episode we are back from Holiday break and do we have some things to talk about. Acura unveiled their Integra Type S test car, Honda unveild the Civic Type R TCR racecar, Bluepront engines stole the PRI show with its huge LS headed 4 cylinder, Falken is pulling out of Formula D, and Indycar is pulling out of iRacing. On top of all that news we also discuss what our automotive related New Years Resolutions are for this year.
We may have taken a break from talking about car news, but the news didn't stop, so its time to play catch up. Lot of interesting things happening both in the greater car world and even in our garage.
Have you ever wondered "If the Religion of Speed crew were to rank all the Fast and Furious movies, how would they do it?" Well that is a weirdly specific thing to wonder but wonder no more because we sat down and did exactly that. The Fast and Furious franchise is such a cornerstone of modern automotive culture, but that doesn't mean they are all good. So sit down on this Thanksgiving with your found Religion of Speed family as we rank all the movies from best to worst.

With all the bad car news that seems to be plaguing the automotive enthusiast these days, there is still hope that we will have cool things, including an all new race track, improved internal combustion engines, and some more exciting NASCAR races. Even the autonomous drone cars are looking cooler!
We were having such a good time recording episode 50 we didn't know when to stop, but it all worked out because that means its bonus episode time. Lucas Urban decided to stick around and talk more about racing and car setup and its certainly worth a listen. We will return to normally scheduled episodes with #51.
What do you do when you reach a milestone like 50? Throw a BBQ, get your friends together, and talk cars like you always do. We have been away for a minute so there was lots to talk about including more Corolla GR news, JDM goodness being brought back from the dead, and how the auto news industry sucks. All this news was made even better because we are joined by the man starting a firestorm in GRIDLIFE Sundae Cup, Lucas Urban. Its a great one.

Matt finally gets his way and gets to talk about F1 for an extended period of time! Also debunking the automotive "journalism" landscape and remembering that we are all in this to have fun.
Whats that! Now you can see our beautiful faces behind the voices. That's right the Religion of Speed Podcast is now available on video, at least if you are on Spotify or YouTube. But don't worry, we are still an audio program first and foremost so you can still just put those headphones on and go about your day while you listen to us discus the nerdy car stuff we always do.
In this special bonus episode we sat down at our rented AirBnB the night before heading up the mountain to watch the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. We had no idea what was in store for us the next day, or what a crazy event the 100th running would be.
The 100th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb may be over in the real world, but podcasts exist in their own version of space and time and do not need to follow you mortals version of physics. In this episode we discuss a lot of Pikes Peak Hill Climb stuff and also talk about crazy high horsepower Diesels, lots of Honda Civic talk, a rant against "progress" with digital license plates, and we talk about our own racing exploits in Project Jellybean Fiesta ST and Project GTI.
We got out and did some big track racing in Project Jelybean and we have a lot to say about it. There is also more news as always and to help us discuss it and add a layer of humor only he can, previous guest of the show, and now permanent member of the Religion of Speed team, Hamza Pecenkovic joins us on the couch.
Its about time we utilized that 4th microphone and got another guess on the show. This week we are joined by friend of the show Evan Mustapick. Its always great to sit down and chat with Evan as he always has good stories to tell and lessons to teach about his time building and racing cars, all of course in his own outspoken no filter style. If you are a Honda fan you are gonna love this episode, if you are not, well come along on the journey and pick up some knowledge!
The roller coaster that has been they hype train for the Corolla GR is quite tiresome. Old cars are better anyway, unless its that new Z.....
What if we told you you could keep your exhaust note and save the world? Well in this episode we figure out how!
Oh boy, its finally time to talk about a fast Toyota, no not the one thats a Subaru, no not the on thats a BMW, a TRUE fast Toyota, one that we are even getting here in America!

We are inching closer every day to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and with the release of the drivers list, there is a lot to look forward to. We also talk about the future of hot-rodding electric cars, why Toyota can bite me, and even get back to giving you ways to get out there and participate in the wonderful world of cars on a budget.

New Years resolutions are bound to fail, but themes are much more doable. On this episode we pick our theme for the year and also get caught up on all the car news that happened while we were away. Exciting news about the Supra, a surprising amount of rumors out of Mazda, and a new car anime, MF Ghost, for us all to be total nerds about!

We are back from racing at GRIDLIFE Alpine Horizon Fest and wow is there a lot to talk about. Easily the best racing event either of us have been to. On top of talking GRIDLIFE we find some time to talk about other fun cars and swaps that will hopefully keep this hobby "affordable" for the near future, and I get existential with the future plans for R.o.S.

Man this episode started out really good with lots of new car news showing that the end is not nigh for the fun petrol car yet. Stick around after the ad break for a preview of our new show "Everything Is Terrible" where we break down why everything is terrible and nothing matters! The nihilism is strong in this episode, but it ends on a good note!

Well this one is a strange on. Our normal recording schedule got thrown off but luckily I had been preparing for just such an occasion. What you don't normally hear is the hours of talking that Chris and I do BEFORE we even start the show. Well I have been recording all of it and now I can present to you just a small taste of what it is we talk about when we are not talking cars. Here's a hint, its still a lot of car stuff, and lot of other nerdy shit cause being a nerd is cool now!

We are chockablock full of car news again this week in this hot and sweaty podcast. No innuendo there, the A/C was just broken in the studio. I was also still feeling the brain fog from the second dose of my Covid vaccine so this is an interesting one. #notacovidpodcast tho.

This week on the show Chris Huffman and I (Matt Overstreet) sit down once again to talk about cars and inevitably get sidetracked, as always. The new F-150 Lightning is the talk of the town and we have opinions about it. We also talk about pro racing, the Fast and the Furious, and as always give you a way to get out and have fun with your car, this time with the SCCA.

These episodes just keep creeping up in length, before long this is going to be a multi hour podcast. To be fair to us though there was a lot that happened the last two weeks and there was a lot to talk about. Of course that didn't stop us from going off on some weird tangents, and the wine certainly didn't help that, but we had a good time and we know you will too. This week we talk about more alternative fuel racing ventures, the new ultimate AE86 build, read our first viewer mail, and talk about a racing series I never expected to mention on this show.

Now that Chris and I have a few episodes under our belt together, its time to start to tighten up the focus a little bit.

Tis the season for delay and turmoil, but for a moment forget about all the crazy going on in the world and join two guys just talking about cars. The auto industry news feeds have been chock-a-block full of news on incoming electric cars, and some of it is even quite exciting! We cover some of those topics today as well as get on some really deep side tracks because neither of us is great at that thing called focus.

Chris was out sick with Covid for a while but luckily he is feeling better now and we are back at it making podcasts again, for real this time, nothing can stop us now....I should not have said that. In this episode we talk about why Chris' Covid experience, track day, a lot of Toyota talk and of course many many side tracks.

We are back from vacation, and just in time to record part two of our special Weird Car Archives series on the Lost Subaru Coupes. Today we look at the Subaru XT's younger and more famous brother, the SVX. With the SVX Subaru attempted to enter the Luxury GT market, and actually made a very competitive car. But would it be enough to overcome the 90 Japanese car bubble? Or would it lead Subaru down another path and market all together?
Its vacation time here at Religion of Speed, but that doesn't mean we are taking a break. This week we start a two part special on our brand new Weird Car Archives all about the Subaru Coupes that time forgot. This week we focus on a car that even a lot of Subaru fan don't know exist, the Subaru XT, a car that proved to be pivotal in Subaru going from the frumpy workhorses they were known for, to the company they are today.
Today I am joined by Ben and Cody, the organizers of the Rocky Mountain Rambler 500. The Rambler is a on and off road adventure drive using beater cars that don't cast more that $500. It is in its second year running and quickly gaining popularity. We talk about how the event got started, why its becoming so popular, and about how people can participate/volunteer to help.
Religion of Speed Podcast episodes will now be going up every other Monday.
You can find out more about the Rocky Mountain Rambler 500 on Facebook (facebook.com/RMR500) or at rockymountainrambler500.com

Joining me on today's podcast is Jake Caldwell from the Yankiizoku drift team. Jake is probably most well known from his freshly built 51 Chevy drift car that is actually a Lexus LS400 underneath. He was featured on Honnigans Daily Transmission and now he joins me via Discord to talk about growing the drift scene here in Colorado.

New intro format, new title format, returning guest. This week the Religion of Speed Podcast makes some subtle changes to the formatting but keeps on trucking. The week we once again have on my good friend Kris Heil. We talk about Formula 1, convertible Volkswagens, Electric cars, and getting out ratty ass old Japanese cars broken into.
The Religion of Speed Podcast continues to grow thanks to you, our listeners. As always keep on sharing links to the show on social media and following us wherever you listen.
Today on the show we have Steve and Terry from the ever growing Colorado Cars and Coffee group pages. These guys created their group with the goal of bringing information about all the splintered car shows to one central location online, a goal we know well here at Religion of Speed. This ended up being a super fun episode and ended up going a little longer because of it.
Sometimes things come down to the last minute. When your in that 11th hour and you not sure the car is going to be ready for the race tomorrow, what do you do? It today's sermon we talk about the dreaded Crunch Time.
On this episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast, a scheduling conflict means instead of listening to an interview with a cool guest, instead you get to listen to me ramble on for 45 min about my past. I go into details of a my car experiences, and why I wanted to start a podcast. Plus I talk about the newly unveiled C8 Corvette briefly!

Sometimes projects get away from us. Something that was supposed to be a weekend project ends up sitting on the jack stands for three months. These things happen, but why do they frustrate us so much. As with most media outlets and old people these days I blame social media. In this sermon I give some advise to you, and quite frankly myself, on how to deal with project creep.
One this episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast we have on my good friend Kris Heil. Kris is an amazing mechanic and big German car aficionado. We just got back from a big spectating/camping weekend at Pikes Peak for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. We recap some of the highlights of the race and of course end up talking about the new Audi S8, Haas F1's recent sponsor issues, and the future robot uprising.
What kind of religion doesn't have sermons? These sermons are going to serve more as mini rants and opinions I have about things in the automotive world that don't always fit nicely into the normal podcast. In today's sermon I rant about safety equipment in cars, and why you shouldn't overlook it, or be cheap with it.

On today's episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast we are joined in studio by my friend Steven Clark. Steven is another of my fellow PPIR Time Attack racers, and one of the fastest out there. We discuss his history with racing, what led him to choose to race a Cobalt SS, and why everyone should come out and race regardless of what they drive.
On the first episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast we have on my good friend and fellow racer/enthusiast Hamza Pecenkovic. Hamza is one of the few people to build up a Hyundai Veloster into a monster of a machine, not just here locally, but nationally. We discuss his car, why he picked it, and go into some news. All that and more on the Religion of Speed Podcast.
On today's episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast we are joined by Tommy Boileau. Tommy is a professional racing instructor at Pikes Peak International Raceway and has been racing competitively most of his life. Tommy is right now preparing to run the 2019 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race. We discus his background, the hill climb, and more.
