2. So you're saying the scale I used is roughly ~100lbs off? Or you just don't believe me? Either way I saw what my car weighs and I believe it to be close to what I saw (not completely accurate of course, but no more than 5-10lbs off).


1. That doesn't matter. He gave that advice to someone that has a Duratec.

Hence my response!

2. Probably more then that.
The information and numbers I posted are exactly calculated from digital corner scales. There is no way you dropped 250-300lbs without the scales dropping about half of the difference by being incorrect.

Hence Stazi and my responses.


1.It does matter. He maybe should have clarified, but the guy obviously would have found out quickly that he couldn't do that with his duratec. He was giving more general advice.

2.Ok. Say what you want. Same scale, used daily by a company so I'm sure it's pretty close to being right. So even if it was off, it should be off on my heavy weight and my light weight by about the same. I don't know why it's so implausible to drop 200-300lbs outta a contour. Other people have done it too.
