I always heard that the big scales are not very accurate at lower weights.....

I was doing it, only it was in Vegas on the 215, and it was a new black Viper. Gave him a headstart. Poor bastard never knew what hit him. So it wasn't me, not there anyway. Don't think I'd feel to comfortable passing a car right next to me going that fast. I appreciate the thoughts though. Oh, and yes, my car is black.

Or can you just drive up and get weighed?

Lol, why people still thinking that it was me? By the way I just realize my speedometer is useless, does anybody know where can I get one that measures up to 180mph?

I think the one near my house is running all the time, just staffed during peak hours (daylight).

Joe, they are local to me I am going to give them a call, I am tired of seen my speedometer stuck like this;

I don't think my car is that fast, I just think the guy on the GTS wasn't running the car up to his full potential. After a while I slow down to let him catch up to me and he was a young oriental guy, might have been affraid of the tripple digits speeds. Totally stupid stunt, I admit that was low as hell, just as bad as JY951 *** stories. I am truly very sorry to set such a bad example, simply I don't have any excuse I gave up to temptation, I am such a coward. Please forgive me.

Truly sad. That was very irresponsable and inmature from you lart. That kind of behavior is not expected from a mid 40's man, someone could have been hurt or kill at that rate of speed.

I ran an early model Z06 a long while back and barely beat him. IIRC, they are about as fast as an early Viper. I was running about 330/330 at the wheels. With 350, probably not all that hard to pull from one.

Good kill... even better that it was witnessed.
