Peter has the best beard on YT. Great episode guys.
Keep working hard LSC team! You guys are making some of the best automotive content on UA-cam and it is only getting better by the day!
Thanks Garrison! Appreciate that!
@@LegitStreetCars I am so happy to be part of this fantastic community you have created with these great videos every week!
Agree 👍 enjoy watching sat mornings
I'm 50/50 on this one, on one side I'm excited for new content, on the other side I think its just gonna make it harder for him to finish all his other projects. Tavarish vibes.
You have said that perfectly i couldn't agree more
I am the previous owner of this wagon. I took great care of it! You got a great deal!That rear-end whine was there when I purchased it, and I drove it for 20k miles waiting for it to get worse. Never did...
So cool! Thanks for letting me know! Can you email me at legitstreetcars@gmail.com
Awesome info
Pics or didn’t happen
@Paul Carmi don't think I can post pics in the comments?
@@scottgordon3669 he’s got a facebook and accounts on probably every other social media platform
I say keep both cars for 60 days and eventually you will realize which suits your needs better. You have to get over the initial excitement of the new CTS-V and that will take time. If you don't want to wait then I say sell the Tesla, drive the CTS-V for 2 years and then either get another Tesla or what ever else you find interesting at that time. I really like the channel and look forward to every new video. You, Peter and Max make a great team and I like how you get into the details on diagnosing and fixing the problems as they arise.
Best way to do it… you always realize which one you like over a period of time.
Totally agreed- I actually learn stuff in his videos as opposed to every other CarTube channel that just glosses over the fix.
I got a big kick out of Peter breaking into a big smile every time Alex hit the accelerator! It was almost like they were connected! Fun episode with some of my favorite creators interacting. Too much fun!
😅
Peter is an absolute legend!!
At least the slick top roof will never give you leaks, rattles, broken motor, broken sunshade, and it weighs about 50lbs less where you really don’t want that weight
Peter is the kind of dude you need on your side, either on a good or bad day....Keep up the great job Guys!
I like how nervous Hoovie looks in the passenger seat, and then when he's in the driver seat he just whips the whole thing around with no mercy.
hoovie was driving = watch it again !
@@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm Not at first!
Everyone is like that lol, if I'm in the passenger seat I'm super scared but the moment I'm in the driver's seat I'm whipping that thing hard
And wonders why the diff was whining.
@@NEEDbacon old oil lack of oil film
I can no longer work on cars due to nerve damage so I now live vicariously through you, Car Wizard, Eric O, and a few others. Thank you for the excellent content.
Hope u get better dude.
@@CanberkDervis Alex is hands down 1000% better than the car wizard
Hey im in the same boat...my nerves are bad too and I can't physically work on cars either anymore. So i understand.
Check out RainmanRay. His videos are fun too.
@LSC Peter WE LOVE YOU GUYS PETER 👍👍👍
Remember seeing this guy making videos from his garage and buying cars I would see on the local market place too see where he is now is unreal
I really REALLY want to tell you to daily the CTS-V, but in Chicago winter you're probably better off with the Tesla. You could have a summer DD and a winter DD....
Love the video. Keep the hits coming! It was great to see the whole gang on the road trip!
Edit: I bought an '05 C55 AMG 2 years ago because of Alex/LSC. M113 life!
Same, cts-v is a good weekend warrior. I still enjoyed the video
I love how Peter’s smile is directly proportionate to Alex’s foot on the accelerator. Literally, when Alex backs off, Peter’s smile disappears. When Alex gooses it, Peter is ear to ear! Hahaha!!!
Its like a boost gauge 😂
Alex and crew - I love the channel. It is a Saturday morning ritual to wake up, get a cup of coffee and watch the newest upload while I'm home with the kids and the wife goes for groceries. I have a 2013 ZL1 with the LSA - a few things to note with these engines. 1. They get horrible mileage no matter what. My car is a max effort stock bottom end build with 765 rwhp on E85 and it gets 7mpg on E and about 10mpg on 93 and meth. Lambda is 1.0, it doesn't matter....just the way roots blown LS engines are. 2. Check to make sure the intercooler brick inside the supercharger lid is reinforced. The end tanks tend to crush under boost even at factory levels which causes high IAT2s and can even leak. 3. Get a catch can, the inside of the supercharger gets DISGUSTING from all the blow by. 4. A good port on the blower from a reputable company really opens these cars up. Get the Kong X-Port and make sure you have enough fueling to support it. Lastly, enjoy the car, they are alot of fun.
This is perfectly stated and couldn’t be more true. I lost Dad a few years back-he was a car mechanic-watching these videos makes me think we’re sitting next to each other on the couch then getting under the hood together. These guys are where it’s at!
Agreed. Built LSA with 150 shot and Cam. 8MPG on E85. 2012 CTS-V Coupe
Think he said the blower is already ported but still good advice.
Literally the best automotive channel on UA-cam needs more recognition
Thanks Chris!
How dare you insult Daddy Doug like that.
I was at a tire shop and pretty much the only truck tires they stocked were those LandGolden ones. I was skeptical, but people were there that previously had more expensive tires and were now on their 2nd and 3rd sets of the LandGolden and swore by them.
My favourite channel on UA-cam doing what they do best...Making amazing videos! Well done Alex and Team!
I have a 2011 V Wagon as well. Congrats on the purchase!
Before you add any boost, make sure you get the intercooler brick reinforced. Factory boost is around 7-9 PSI. Anything more, the brick can collapse into itself.
14 City/18 Hwy is about right, which is why I sometimes call mine the "Thirsty Girl".
I added a Navtool Apple Carplay/Android Auto box to work with the factory head unit to bring it sort of up to date with technology.
Before you commit to the Recaro seats, go find someone who has them and sit in them. They're supportive, but pretty stiff for a long road trip.
Like always, a terrific video. Best wishes to you, your family, and the LSC team!
Peter booting the car while you guys were trying to edit was the funniest part. Not because it surprised you - more because you're both like "what are you doing - whats wrong with you?" while he's laughing his a55 off.
Classic car guy stuff.
Would have bought a car from this guy?
Yeah. That shady guy is Tyler Hoover 😂.
Sure would haha
When you sale this car. I want to buy it!!!
If the Wizard gave it his approval
I’d buy that car from much shadier people!
Air Raid Intake with green filter and green belt ,E85,2.55 upper pulley, 1050 ID injectors, headers and exhaust,ice tank, walboro 450 fuel pump
same build as my brothers V and hes making 650-700 RWHP
You and Peter are the best car team on the internet! keep up the great work!!
So cool how you guys collaborate together. It speaks volumes about the car world.
Ok, although I love tech and the Tesla would do it for me but, the CTS-V? OMG, must be your Daily. I would be all over that. By the way, the chips you had, there is place about 45 min from me that should have them, were they that good? I will drive to take that trip !
My Daily now, is 2014 Lexus LS460 RWD with 380hp. It needs more power but, when I need it, it has it... love the car and the color combo. My next car will have over 500hp...
CTSV wagon with a manual is the family car we all want and need in our lives. Terrible that GM didn’t make more!
If I remember correctly they didn’t sell good at all brand new so the wagon was cut from the lineup
It's amazing how you get Max to fit up on your front windshield. He is a real dedicated video man.
@@lscpeter U tube needs to give us Emojis when we reply. I would have put 😂 😂 LOL.
A I took me here, I had never watched this channel before. It would have been much better without being an Infomercial for tire and snake oil companies. Also, what's this fascination with the term "daily driver"? Is that as opposed to having a car displayed at a museum? So I guess I "daily" my F150 to work. Now I feel cool.
Get the intercooler brick reinforced before adding any additional mods to the car. Going E85 on the current setup you’ll get another 60-80WHP but you’ll need to see what injectors are currently in the car and may need more fuel pump also. If you want to add more boost look into a larger lower pulley to keep belt slip to a minimum. Lastly having a lack of sunroof makes it a rarer spec. I myself own a manual wagon, slick top (sunroof delete) and couch cushion (non-Recaro) spec and love it.
I saw a manual one once - it seemed perfect.
Yep. Definitely toss the the Tesla & keep the Caddy! To see you & Pete laughing like children on an amusement park ride every time the foot was planted, well, it's up to you. Very nice car mate!
Those continental tires are awesome! I have a set on my is350!
Alex, Max and Peter! I can't wait for you guys to get the 1 mil subs. You're so close! Love the content you guys and keep it up.
Hey Alex, I'd say keep both if you can afford it and have the space. If it's either/or ditch the Tesla. That's an amazing wagon. This is coming from someone that has an 06 300C SRT8 and an 09 Grand Cherokee SRT8 both of which have the 6.1 Hemi and the Mercedes Nag1 transmissions. Really nice older stuff is hard to find. Good luck with your decision. Cheers!
I’ve watched every single video & they just keep getting better by the day! Also, great job on the editing max, you’re doing some top tier content!
Can’t wait for my Saturday morning on the days off to watch the new video! 🇨🇦
That cts-v is my dream car. perfect combination of power and usability!
I would choose the CTS-V hands down, like you said there will be plenty of time in the future for an EV
OK just some honest criticisms. I am getting overwhelmed watching all the half builds. Maybe start and finish a build THEN post the videos together. I am losing interest. It is like watching 5 or 6 tv series all at one time. Hard to have any vested interest. Please start thinking about quality over quantity.
I love my v wagon and daily it for the last 40000 miles it’s had the slight rear end whine since I got it I just change the fluid often. There is a site online that actually now has a bearing kit for the rear end so you don’t have to do the whole rear diff!
The second half of this video is absolutely hilarious 🤣
One of the best rides home we've had for sure.
How do you even know 🤣 the video hasn’t even been out for 10 minutes
@Ashley Nyamadzawo I'm his editor, Max. I was on this trip and in the car with Alex and Peter lol
@@MaxBeecher credentials check out lol nice work Max!
@uisperfect email lol thank you!
CTS-V is a great novelty but as a DAILY, the Tesla wins with all the amenities. Maybe I’m just getting old.
I was initially upset when Tyler said he sold this car! But now I'm so happy because it went to you. Time for the tesla to go!
So glad you were the UA-camr that bought this unicorn. Can't wait to see more V wagon content
Keep the Tesla, auction off the CTS- wagon. I think you'll be happy that you don't have to fill the car with gas every 3 days.
That CTS-V wagon is so cool, I would definitely keep it as a daily and weekend car too. Get rid of the Tesla and use the money to upgrade the wagon. Love your channel. Could an old school muscle car be in your future? Like a Chevelle , Nova or even an old Mopar all with a big block engine? Looking forward to more videos.
For the LSA if you run flex fuel you will probably need to add a DSX Aux fuel pump or replace the twin pumps with higher volume pumps.. you probably close to max on the pumps now depending on pulley size.. you won’t necessarily need to run more boost .. but you’ll pick up 50whp these cars love E85.. I have full bolt on ported blower ZL1 did the work myself for credentials purposes
Cmon breh you already know the answer, we ALL already know the answer. DUMP the Telsa man, booooo non combustion lmfao. Nawh fr though that CTS-V is a gem, especially in wagon trim, i was lookn at trying to scoop one of those up but in coupe form not to long ago. Would love to race it against my built big-turbo Srt-4, which walks on Scats all the time.
Love the vibe in Alex's crew :) you guys are amazing, please never change. Great vid as always, greets from Poland!!
You guys are by far my favourite channel on UA-cam and Alex we know you're gonna go for the CTS V 😂. It's like you said, we only have a few more years to enjoy cars like these so may as well make some memories with the CTS V.
Keep the self driving Tesla with all the modern electronic features. Beautiful color, beautiful car! CTS V is neat, but the Tesla is the better daily driver.

Hi dud I want to work with you please give me a chance I'll doing everything for you please give me a chance
Quit voting for your enslavement 😢
I agree Alex, I don't know why, but there is something about having and driving a 15 passenger van. Love em!
Hmm beating on that "wagon" peter :).
You're Italian...why aren't you driving a Cadillac?
Alex it’s looking like you already out grown your shop. I’ve been watching since your home garage. Keep up the good work !
Just like with firearms, you can check tools. Just not batteries of a certain type. And the liquid restriction doesn't matter when you check a bag.
Loved this episode, guys!
I am very glad to see you all have fun, not only as friends, but also as car guys.
Cheers to you all 🙂
Alex , you have one of the best channels on UA-cam ! You, Peter and Max are a great crew and I’m not surprised to see you hanging with Car Wizard and Hoovie ! All of the cream seems to rise to the top together.
As far as having the Cadillac for a daily driver , I would really think a little harder about that . I’m semi retired and have a 2017 regular cab , short box Silverado 4x4 for my daily driver. I also own a 1969 Camaro Z-28 and a 2006 Corvette . If I were in your shoes and had that Tesla for my daily driver, I wouldn’t switch to the Cadillac. I don’t think the price of gas will ever go down with all the car manufacturers trying to go electric in the next few years !
government motors may be pushing for ev's, but outside big government lots of car companies are pushing for a healthy mix of ice, ev, other tech and a more gradual shift.
If you can make Buck on your Tesla then I’d do it!! They may not be around long term? Anyway, the CTS-V is way more fun to drive!!
The real reason my CTS V was Totaled! ua-cam.com/video/ldhNBQPDTVE/v-deo.html
I think as awesome as the Tesla is that CTS-V is absolutely beautiful, amazing and awesome and then considering all the things you can still do to it to get more power out of it, it’s a no brainer. When will you possibly come across another one like this? Even though it’s been repaired as you seen when you had it in the air there’s nothing wrong with it. You did well getting the Cadillac and I definitely think you should keep it as your daily! You won’t regret it. The tesla I know would be great on those long trips and where the car can actually drive you. But there’s nothing like being in control of 600/650 rear wheel horsepower. “Keep the Cadillac please!”.
You are so lucky! The cts-v wagon is the rarest of the cts-v's. I love wagons too!
Country Road + RWD Supercharged V8 = 😊
The dreamteam ride home was awesomely fun! Peter looking for any excuse to smash the pedal to the metal 😂😂😂 Awesome car, not sure if it's daily material with that milage though 😅
Wizard and Alex together, the peak of automotive maintenance
I am good to go on commercial frights. My tool is less than 7 inches when in the stowed position. In the ready position, it is not legal to fly. At my age, the ready position is somewhat rare.
what a crew, you guys are a perfect match to make great content, i drive a van my self so i see why you like them, they are just really practical for pretty much everything
You had me at “shady used car salesman”
This feels like a bad reality show. A long reality show. Who tf has an hour to watch this meandering?!
keep CTSV stock looking from outside - no need to lower that. An active exhaust might be a cool idea - so you can have a quiet kind of sleeper wagon to drive with kids etc and open it up when needed to have fun.
finally, the purchase we all knew was coming! 😂
before the irobots take over is pure gold, sad times indeed .. dont mind electrics, but hate the push down the throat we get lately
It's awesome seeing you all together!
Keep the good stuff coming, this content helps me get through these Wisconsin winters.... I'm ready to get my cars out but it's snowing again today! 🤮
Now that just means we can go have fun in the snow on unplowed roads with our boring 4wd cars, i used my schools parking lot on one weekend and slid around, whats even better is that a bunch of people showed up with no coordination for a meeting
@@packerman1203 hahaha, for sure! I was just about ready to take my snow tires off my daily.... I think I'm gonna wait a bit now 😁
I love the smile on Peter every time Alex hits the gas hahahaha
The equinox also has the best feature: a sunroof in the engine block because they burn so much fucking oil.
Love you and Peter’s energy! Reminds me of my youth and had a buddy just like Peter that was always down to make me do silly stuff! Keep it up guys! BTW dump the Tesla! It’s all about petrol! 😂
Just when u think Peter couldn't smile more in an episode of the best car channel ever 😂
@LSC Peter mate I watch from Scotland u cheer everyone up
Bro, just keep both and drive one week and the other week your other car, that's a win-win situation.
You hit the nail on the head for every single project that you guys do. Every single one interests me. Awesome content. Thanks guys.
I have the White Diamond Tricoat, which I imagine is a bear to match. But after seeing your red. Well, I can tell you the refinish they did is OK. The problem is they should have done the whole side, if not the whole car. For what a V, especially the rare wagon sells for, a complete paint job is justified. But no matter how good the painter is, or how good the paint mixer guy is, conditions like temperature and humidity are going to introduce slight differences in the pearl midcoat that you just can't duplicate like the factory finish.
I want the Cadillac and some of those chips please 😅😂!!!!!!
Love this show, you make it fun, funny and more interesting than any other car channels!
This is my favorite car repair youtube channel and it ain’t close. Alex, you and Peter are legends.
As someone who tows 15 + teslas a week due to software issues and cheap tires .. id say burn the piece of crap 😊
I’ve been a subscriber for a while now and I love the content. Keep the videos coming! I also live near the Joliet area so it’s nice to see someone local. You guys look like you really enjoy what you do. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Those paddle shifters are supposed to be held on with 3M tape. The kit comes with tape preinstalled, but a couple piece of 3M's double sided adhesive cut to fit would do fine to hold those on. Mine have been in my car for months without an issue and they work a lot better than hoovie claims. He hates modifications.
Love the work you guys do and the fact that guys pump out the content, you've got a great team.
How is the channel not over 1 million subs yet? Best channel on UA-cam. I can watch Alex and Peter the same way I can watch Hoovie and The Wizard......all day long
They didn’t blend the paint from the door into the quarter and it’s a 3 stage paint gonna be expensive to fix that
I think you guys would love the Dagiban scene in Japan. They take older dodge vans, modify the crap out of them, and either race them or roll them around downtown Japan. It's awesome.
Yeah, Dajiban's are totally something they'd love. Kinda hard NOT to love seeing massive boxes rolling around on Watanabe's with stretched tires in some insane colour.
Awesome video guys keep up the awesome content and a little tip for next time. You come across a diff with glittery fluid flush it out real good before. You fill it back with the fluid that you're gonna leave in it gives it a better chance to last longer or fix it completely....but can't wait to see what else you guys do with that beast of a wagon lol
Dumb the Tesla, caddy wagon look and sounds wayyyyyy coooolllerrrrrrr😊
Alex, the choice is simple. Keep both cars. You work hard and deserve it. Great video as always.
I'll never tire of watching Peter enjoying taking passenger rides
It’s super sad peter won’t be in the videos any more
#drama
Dude! The Tesla is an appliance with no soul, the Cadillac is a statement and has the most beautiful super charger noise. The choice is simple, the vehicle that you feel most connected to the road in is the best choice. Love this video and absolutely loving all the series you have currently going. LSC is always #1
As a Californian, I have to say, that if it's not for sale in California, it is the good stuff!
Get rid of that POS Tesla! Supercharged RuleZ!
Also, I hate to be that guy but please don’t destroy this one with salt. V for fun summer daily, AWD Tesla for the winter
Work on the CTS-V a little bit and then sell the Tesla! Or give it to Peter...
Loving the night buddy head lamp
You should probably keep the Caddie on general principles, but the Tesla is undoubtedly a beautiful car which has been modified to your exact specifications. I might go with the Tesla if I were you since you already have the Buick as your gas rocket.
The happiness on Peter's face every time it whines 😂😂
I need to take tomorrow off so I can get some rest from our roadtrip! Get ride of the Tesla!
You can’t complain having Max Peter, way to go
The wagon was the fastest version of this car out running the coupe and sedan
Dump the Tesla. CTS-V most definitely.
