Default Just got state inspection and WOW!!! My car is fat!!!

Just got back form getting my state inspection. I was looking over the test result sheet and it listed my car's wieght. I was surprised to see that is said 4453!!! Now in all fairness I have a 2 10" subs in a big box in the trunk. I had less than half a tank of gas. Spec says it should be 3241 lbs. Now where would 1200 lbs come from? The only thing I can think of is that their scale is fubared. Thoughts?

99.5 1.8TQMS
KO4 Kit
AWE Borla Catback
Neuspeed SS
K&N Drop in

Default Sounds like GVW

Or max load of the tires. I guarantee you your car does not weigh 4400 lbs.

Agreed. Next time take the cement blocks out of the trunk.
