As long as you zero the scale first I’d suspect it would be accurate. I used it once like 8 years ago but I don’t have anything to compare it to. Why not just use the digital one in Tonawanda that everyone uses? (forgot what the place is called.) ---

They seemed pretty on to me the last time I had used them with the vette. It should be within a few pounds I’d have to say. ---

> [@Scott](#): > > where are the scales there? Next to the return road. I remember using it with Real Deal. But I just looked on Google maps and can’t find the scale on the sat image… is it still there? EDIT: Forgot that it’s almost all the way to the end of the track. Yep, it’s still on the sat map: [map]2011 New Road, Leicester, NY[/map] ---

I weighed my spyder gsx there last summer and it gave me 3150…which is a lot lower than other conversions and way less than what I calculated it should be. This was with full interior but no spare/jack, half tank of gas (10 gallons) and weight reduction by Rust. ---

get it on some scrap scales or grain scales, they cant afford for those scales to be off.
