one of these days im going to get me a set of scales and charge $700 bucks to tell guys what their car weighs on each corner.... :shock: :lol:
each car is different on what the ideal corner weights are, but the whole idea is to give you a starting point to tune your chassis. You can also get the cars center of gravity from this.
Stock car guys have been doing this for years, and the big boys in drag racing have been doing it more and more.
$700 bucks seems high to just scale the car, and $100 bucks seems very cheap.
If you just want to see what the car weights then $100 is ok.
Why do you want to scale the car, are you having problems with it?

as an edit here, I see summit has 2 sets of scales, about $1050 and $1400. Get that $700 guy to scale twice and you could have bought your own set.
