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.
