Should I go to one of the local semi-truck weight in spots and slide the guy some $ if you know what I mean?

Well, you could try that I suppose.

Most race tracks also have scales. In my case, I happen to have a friend that builds firetrucks and his company has a DOT scale that we used. If I didn't have that option I would've used the scales at the track.

I think the sub 6 time is very plausible, I pulled 0-60 with a gtech of under 6 and confirmed it with a buddys radar gun from his police cruiser and a stop watch.

I actually felt the gtech was more accurate.

My main use of the gtech was to derive baseline numbers before I started modding the car. If I pull a base line of 5.9 then run a 5.1 even if the numbers are not exact it is still a .8sec improvement. I know there are variations but a gtech is better than a butt dyno.

Also, just to throw more fire on the flame. my wheel horsepower numbers on the gtech matched exactly what a dyno showed the same day.

In my opinion for someone doing performance mods a gtech is a great tool, it does not replace a dyno but its a great tool.

Your local recycling center should have a scale. I always pull into our recycling center as if im going to drop stuff off just so I can weigh my car.

My car weighed in at 3150lbs.............not including me!

Dude what made your car weight that much? I know you used to have a ton of audio stuff but damn that's 400lbs over the listed weight on the Epiq website.

Lol it's time for it to lose some bodyfat.

Published curb weight is often measured dry and with a car with no options.

ooops i doubled checked my weight on my G-tech and it wasn't at 2950 but 3050 which i think is perfectly fair including me and other crap in my car
So think what you want to think

It doesn't matter for acceleration numbers. The G-tech uses weight for power/torque calculations.
