I picked one up a few days ago too. Might as well, I had been holding off of getting the next 'fill my wallet' card, but we all show up to Sunoco So 20 points/litre of 94, typical fill is 50L (1000 pts). 10,000 points (500L) gets you $10 (~10L, though not really) free gas. Still, as was pointed out - better than nothing.
The moment a turbo spools, all your dreams are made possible.

10,900 and I refused to use the $10.00 free gas option. I just collect the points to the point I get a free tank.

About 14,000 here, I'll do the same and save them for when I either am short on cash, or can get a whole tank.

The way gas prices are going, a free tank in an emergency situation...ie..short of cash, would be the way to do it.

Remember that the higher gas prices go though, the more points you'll need to get a free tank.

It's too bad they're getting rid of the CAA program. I know Sunoco has paid for my membership the last two years.
Anything is better than nothing I suppose!
We don't have Sunco here in Alberta but I we do have CAA. I use their CAA Mastercard on everything and collect rewards that way. Last year, it cost me $1.21 to renew my membership. Just a thought if some of you guys like renewing CAA for free.

They shouldn't be any worse on gas than a car with 450s if you know how to tune closed loop.
Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

I have 1000cc injectors and my cars gone mid-11's in the 1/4 mile. I'm trapping over 120MPH each run. Hmmmm does anyone want to take a guess at what a full weight 1G AWD would be making in horsepower? I can garantee it will be more then yours. And if you are so sure with yourself, I propose we strap our cars on the dyno one after the other. Next spring, you and I head to Magnus, bring some witnesses and I'll try not to embarass you. Three pulls, all turbo, no nitrous. Loser pays for the others bill. That's how sure I am.
I should admit my gas milage is pretty much on par with a stock TSi so I guess it HAS to be under 200 crank HP.

FYI 500hp cars with 1000cc inj are very bad on gas. Not an FYI. Lol, probably sh!t tuning as everyone else said. I'll put my money on Tim still. What do you run in the 1/4 mile Ben with yo sickkk ass talon?

You call having a timeslip a secret, haha your a funny guy. You probably have a sh!t e/t to go with that don't you ? I bet you do, lol. I don't really care how much HP you have, but I'll ask you the same question I have asked others, how about some 16g beatings ? I think the only thing I go to the shop for is an alignment too, and so does everyone else you mouth off to. We all build our own sh!t as well, but you come off like some weirdo about it, like your the only one who has built a DSM. $35,000 in parts!! LOL I think I have way less than that in parts, obviously no cost in labour cuz I build my own sh!t, and I think my car would hand you your ass on a plater. Now thats the TRUTH!

Hehe, your right 16g is a puny turbo. As I said, how bout some 16g beatings ?? I'm not dumb, but I am crazy! You can eat a big fat one. I'll be smokin a big fat one. 16g will hand it to you anyday, period. You probably run 13's with your 124MPH traps, thats why your embarrased to tell your E.T., right? Don't go blow your headgasket now.

Blah blah all talk. $1000 come this Saturday to Cayuga, I'll be there and so will others. Let me steal yo money buoy! You said bring it, I am bringin it, and now you back off. I thought so, YOUR true colors have SHOWN, lol.

124MPH with your FWD? Good for you. Back in my FWD days (which I ditched because FWD is absolutely brutal), I was trapping 114-117MPH on a 16G. You are telling me that I need to spend another $32,000 to get it to go another 7MPH faster in the 1/4 mile? Ha.
Listen, put your money where your mouth is. Go beat Reza, win his money and then strap your car to the dyno with me for free. Hell, you are FWD and I'm AWD, you have a massive advantage WHP wise.
So big bad turbo guy, accept one of these challenges and see how well your 124MPH car actually runs against the little pea shooter turbo that Reza runs or my massively under funded car. I'll admit it, I have less then $5000 in mods done, so what do you have to be scared of?

FWD!!!! Are you serious! No wonder the guy is all talk, probably doesn't even run low 13's, hehe. Incredible, a FWD guy trapping 124MPH, talking all that, lol.

Ben, I know nothing about you but by the way your coming off in this thread you sound like one of my family members boses. He has a new Mustang Shelby Cobra & apparently he can run 10's with it (though he has never been to the track with it & professional car test drivers only run high 12's in it) What's with all the big secrets about you "magical" setup? Why are you so afraid to list what your mods are? Most people are more then happy to share their mods when producing that kind of power. Do you have a dyno sheet or a log of the pulls? Whats the big secret about your ET & what kind of setup do you run at the track? You spent $35000 just on parts? I would be interested in seeing a list of all the parts your running or is that a big secret as well? I'm not hating on any of the 1g's at all (as I too have put way to much money into my 2g that I won't get back) but I'm curious why you would put $35000 worth of parts into a car that probably has a book value of $3000 if your luckey? Edit: One other thing Ben that I hope you can clear up for me. You say you've owned a 500+ hp Talon for the past 7.5 years? Was curious why you posted about replacing the 14b you were running with a 16g, just last month & had questions about installing a Walbro 255 & the month before you were looking for a used 3" catback
