I didn't ask about times dude, wtf....

My question was how there are so many numbers being thrown on that are over a 1000 lbs different for very similar trucks. I didn't say **** about track times or how fast people are...

well Scott, my guess is that people are going to improperly calibrated weigh stations, such as those at salvage yards and taking them to be exactly accurate.

Thats what my 03 reg 4x4 weighed with me before the 80E, and turbo kit. Im 195lbs. With turbo kit, 4l80E, hitch, bedliner, and full tank its 4940. Thats also with laptop, some tools, and other crap behind the seat.
