Should I Buy A TOTALED Rivian R1T Or A BURNED Turbo CTS-V From Salvage Auction!?

[@LeeC]

Use this as the "it's only money, buy the rivian" button...

[@masonshafer811]

Not a fan tbh it’s cool but not that cool imo

[@surferdudehb352]

Just not an electric car fan

[@poplaurentiu4148]

I think is the first Rivian at any auction yards.. woaw.. epic yard, what cars, absolutely incredible find with that R1T.. definitely worth saving.. "go fund" or "help support my next Rivian project" must start indeed !

[@jordanrawlins3994]

Do it.

[@LeeC]

@@surferdudehb352 must not have driven the right one!

[@c5doob]

Look at Lee knowing his mustangs! almost shed a tear

[@scraplifegarage]

The only time I look smart in these videos are when Austin is in them too…

[@cflwhat]

I personally wouldn't get a Rivian yet simply because of parts availably. Rivian is handling all of their service thus far so it would probably be pretty hard to get your hands on anything from them.

[@LeeC]

I like a challenge 😅

[@FluffyGoat91515]

The Rivian would be a very interesting challenge for sure.

[@Kyur4deIch]

I live in DC and I just assume every Charger on the road is stolen. Even the police Chargers lol 😆

[@rajcam80]

I have been watching the turbo V for months. Buy it and rebuild it! Your about 2.5 hrs away from me. My 2010 CTS-V sedan is a twin, no moonroof, and I have Recaro's!

[@cornball303]

Alfa made a twin turbo v6 version I believe. Awesome cars ,m3 competitors, and they sound amazing! Quality content as usual fellas!

[@MrDeadsr]

And that v6 is the Ferrari v8 with 2 less cylinders.

[@xinx-fn8973]

Some will fix up that CTS-V if it’s a factory manual

[@c5doob]

There's the giulia quadrifoglio which has the TT v6 so not the one you guys saw that's the normal one. the "bigger" version Dalt is mentioning I think is the Stelvio aka SUV

[@LeeC]

Maybe one of those would be worth buying…

[@cmoney360CS]

Hey the abarth was my first car. I loved that thing. Thanks for showing it!! I’ve had two! They sound epic and are fun to drive! Wow cool.

[@cmoney360CS]

1.4l not a 1.2!! Lol, multi air turbo, also found in the Dodge Dart I believe.

[@sauljurkunas2905]

Lol, you two are hilarious! You guys are fun to watch compared to the others on utube. Keep it going!

[@tna--]

10:20 this is a Giulia 2.0 4cyl 200cv > nice car not the same platform as a supra ( fiat vs toyota ) its a competitor of the 3 series of BMW yes a bigger version exist : its the top line called QV (Quadrifoglio) with a V6 2.9 510 ch > a monster this QV version had a record lap on the nurb in the sedan category

[@scraplifedalt]

Good info. Thank u

[@christian6381]

I think a cleaned up turbo manual cts-v is the way to go

[@LeeC]

If only it were a wagon too…

[@surferdudehb352]

This is gonna be a good episode

[@mitchelldavidson9911]

but it's really funny watching you guys bicker like a married couple 😂😂

[@tacticooldennis]

Looks like the same damage that happened during "the long way up" to their Rivian.. maybe a good idea to re-route those hoses

[@shepdog_alpha]

@LeeC I know I'm seeing this a year later. But the 2012 mustang with the hood damage was an "acquaintance" of mine. We were in the army and in kansas together. I thought that it looked familiar and the weird fender damage and dents on the a pillar is from an elk. Everyone was out street racing behind the air port and cops showed up. He ran and hit the elk on a dirt road he pulled off on. I don't have a way of contacting him anymore, so I'm not sure what happened to the front end.

[@nunyabusiness6400]

Time for a pimped out Rivian!

[@LeeC]

Amen!

[@osirisgaming6250]

Scat packs don’t like boost, the 6.4 has small ring lands that get destroyed by boost

[@LeeC]

Good to know!

[@02f4irider]

A lot of times if a vehicle has an oil filter that doesnt have the anti-drainback valve, the hydraulic lifter will lose prime and will cause it to tick till it rebuilds pressure.

[@LeeC]

Very common on these

[@c5doob]

That turbo V looks little bit too spicy, i think you would get up to some really interesting shenanigans in a Rivian

[@scraplifegarage]

I haven’t stopped thinking about the Rivian since I left!

[@maniacaloffroad5338]

Listen. I love you guys so I say this with respect.. When you're in Michigan, You damn well better REVIEW THE 4X4 TAHOE! The zoomie cars are great, we all love 'em. But this is 4x4 country, boys!

[@madafaroq3986]

I was the one the bought the red mustang in the beginning, it’s cool seeing it a year later and wish I saw earlier. I bought it for 15k fixed it for 4k and sold it for $27,000.

[@andrewbeetz2196]

Great video, loved the dynamic of both of you doin the walk around.

[@fredericoespinoza]

CTSV for parts for sure

[@KennethHarrison-ou2ok]

I have not seen anyone mess with a CTS-V am about to buy a CTS or another 300c hemi this week am looking at both

[@justme-27]

That blue rivian truck was at silver lake sand dunes 😉

[@JC-vg6ql]

That's a PP1 (C was right PP2 has different wheels and 305 front tires) those are 275 front.

[@morganearle4748]

With the 392 if I recall right you’re going to need an adaptor plate for the hell cat blower if you choose so and possibly an mds delete, lifters, cam, hi volume oil pump, and a tuner + a bunch of other things I also can remember if the crankshaft or the rods aren’t forged in the N/A 392’s also depending on the year might wanna swap eagle heads on it they’re the best flowing

[@LeeC]

Sounds like I need to just go for a hellcat then!

[@robcarlson7845]

I built the kit on that V. It was super upsetting to hear of the fire. I was told it was a leak at the injector o-rings

[@LeeC]

Ah man that sucks, it was a beautiful kit

[@surferdudehb352]

The red widebody is sweet

[@ben6119]

I like the Rivian, the Caddy is awesome but its a little to crispy to fix I think.

[@LeeC]

Hopefully it goes for a reasonable price!

[@mitchelldavidson9911]

please lee don't let dalt take over copart walk arounds and u tell him it's a pp1 😂😂

[@aloy1920]

Wow lot of cars 👍

[@Sj-ux7vb]

Those are performance pack brembos. It’s a PP car. Would be a great fucking fit for me for parts as I’ve reached out to y’all plenty of times for mustang parts and you said you would get back to me, but instead upload a video on a week basis. It’s been a year since I’ve reached out. Great business

R1T or not to R1T or should I wear asbestos gloves while fixing a CTS-V turbo It is good to start with a little foreplay, a prelude, a little over view of what is Coming so I will BE interested and will GO FORWARD AND SEE MORE. Good foreplay music for THIS video. I am not into this salvage visits again. I think I need to look at your other non-salvage videos very soon BUT I ONLY HAVE 3 videos LEFT = 14 that I will have seen. Videos about 30 minutes each ................. = 7 hrs. of watching + another 20 minutes to make comments = 4 hrs. TOTAL 11 hrs. I will do the “hippy, hop” on the rest of this video for faster seeing.. Besides getting all 14videos is that I get to see another car that I have never seen: Julia Coyote Scat Pack- lots of these Jut? RIVIAN you tube RIVIAN Since you seem SO HAPPY to see this car I hope you get one for the shop to fix up. In 2022 I drove my RestoMod-Outlaw to PCA Werks Reunion in Monterey, CA (Monterrey car week). With my favorite wife. Got there a day early and that afternoon I found a great car wash to Clea my P-car. There were all kinds of Porsches waiting their turn. But in front of me in line was a truck that I have never seen. It was a Rivian. Since we had to wait I chatted the owner's head off to get an understanding of this truck. Very interesting and he had an even better story how he got it since there is a waiting line to get one.But not interested. Sure it is a rocket ship but it has no sound, no gas motor...the END!!
