P-car Weight

I know that many people had joined the P-car weight lost program. After shedding pounds, how do you find out exactly what is the weight of your car?

nycsurfer is infamous around these parts
Most people figure it out by corner balancing the car with racing scales,and few actually bring the car to those weigh stations

Thanks. I was thinking about those weigh stations; but they are usually for trucks.

truck stations are usually inaccurate. You need corner balance scales.

Just had PSS10s put on the car; maybe it is a good time to do a corner balance.
Thanks.

I use the waste management scales..just drive your car onto it and they give you the weight (for a price, they print it out)...not sure about accuracy or precision, but it gives a nice relative value. Heck I'm in a cab I don't care that much about weight anyway.

wross996TT,
I have a 04 Cab too. My car is also Tip and I read it somewhere that you cannot do a dyno on a Tip. I just had my car mod'd (will get her this week) and would like to know the HP. I was going to use a Performance Box (from VBOX) to calculate the HP. In order to do that, I presumed that weight is one of the parameters.
Thanks.

Hey MY...I also have the P-box (never used it except to update the firmware)...don't recall entering anything to tell you the truth. Just plug it in and go.

I see. I'll receive it today and find out. Now, it makes me wonder how it calculates hp.
Thanks again wross996TT.

Mine was 3530 or so with me in it and 3/4 of a tank (180 lbs at that time) at the Summit Pt. club race.

wross996TT,
I got the P-Box today and found the area for entering the weight. It is under "Power" mode.
