Some intresting things I found out about my car this weekend

My car without a driver or passanger is exactly 2920 lbs. with my big *** heavy rims and body kit. I thought I would have made it into supra territory. I am amazed.... How much all of you guys with kits and stuff weight in at?
Oh and I pulled off some pretty impressive 1/4 times over the weekend as well, some have already seen them, but Im not going to post them yet, since I know I am going to get so many questions asked and that's impossible statements, so Im not even going to bring those up. I need to do a few more runs, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke of luck . But since I got all your attention now, why don't you guys check out this thread if your intrested in any of these babies Im giving away!! :

Nah, I was just curious what she weighed and how close to 50/50..and it was only $30 so I figured, what the heck. :)

Is this addressed to me? And if so, what you are referring to?

No that was for me. Yes, but not with the the older Gtech, I am currently testing the newest version of the Gtech competition pro with some beta software they gave me the Telsa corp gave me. It is much more accurate then the last version, and has a much lower margin for error. I did some runs with it with race gas, open exhaust, lots of boost, and everything I would noramlly do to get ready for a QM run to see if I could get my times consistent and to see if thier HP/TQ ratings were close to what I use to do at the track and on the dyno. I must say most of the time is was right on, or where I was expecting it to be, but I did one run which I couldnt reproduce again, and am going to do some more test with it to see if I can reproduce it again. f I can I will post more on it, but I havent backed it up yet, so I didnt want to bring it up. But I must say it is quite a piece of machinary, I met the engineers who developed this and am amazed with thier facility and achivements with thier product. YOu have to own one or know how they work to really appricate it.

What exactly ARE those things in the 2nd picture?

My car weighed in at 2880 when I checked it on the grain elevator scales. Just the car, not me in it.
