Yeah I took my car to a scrape iron yard and weighed my car and without me in it and around half a tank it weighed 3873 without me in it. So with me I'm at 4150. So Brent your car weighs 600 pounds less then mine. So right there I could pick up .6 in time in weight alone.

I really don't see how yours weighs that much. Usually bases are lighter then premiums

Yeah that's what I thought too unless their scale is off which I highly doubt it cause that's money for them. Plus they weighed me alone and it was correct on my weight.

I doubt it. Like I said I stood on it alone and it was correct on my weight.

Man, that is crazy. I think you may have a crooked scrapyard or something. lol. You need to find another scale. There is no reason your car should be that much heavier than someone like Doug's car. His car is an auto, the KB and regular wheel setup and he's much lighter than you. The auto cars tend to be quite abit heavier. With your M6 and racing wheels I don't see how you can be that heavy.

I've dealt with this company for years and my dad has dealt with them for 30 plus years. I know the owner very well so I highly doubt their scale is off. That's why I went their cause he let me do it for free and I figure its pretty damn accurate.

Well then maybe next time you need to remove the dead body of the guy who sold you E85 from the trunk to lighten her up!
