You should note what type of scale you used. That way other people can chime in and tell if some scales are too generous or not.

No, I don't think 320lbs is possible...at least not in a 911.

+rep for being 320 and able to fit in a 997!

And no - I don't believe it's possible for the car to be that light. The scales must be completely off.

its a scale that they use to weigh scrap metal i believe... should be pretty accurate but I have no idea. what should my car weight with a full tank without a rider?

WOW...320lbs! You are dedicated then! My neighbor weights around 345....very over weight for his size and can not get into my CarreraS. I weight 240 but am 6'5" tall so my weight is spread out but it is a tight but comfortable fit for me in the manual sport seats.
