No apologies, brother. I tend to err on the safeside myself. But props for manning up... Wish some others had those pills...uh, balls.

Which could still be differences in calibration or the scales themselves etc.

Doesnt automatically mean that they are lying.

Whos to say the given place is any more accurate/honest than the GM scales or weighing procedure?

That's because the mustang was a smaller car witch I didn't like. Now we have a smaller car wait till you sit in it and you will see how the weight was shaved.

Btw every car equally speced wont weigh the same. Simple variation in the thousands of parts that make up a car or truck will result in different weights. And a tiny 1% variation would be 37 pounds.

This^^^ I work for a company that makes truck mounted construction equipment that is weight sensitive. We scale hundreds of identical machines each year on our own pad scale and log the final weight so we can see trends. Max, min, average, std deviation. There is easily 0.5 to 0.8% variation. We attribute it to variations in plate thickness, welds, castings, etc.

Another factor is scale tolerance. You see certified CAT scales at trucks stops all over. Weigh your car on three different scales on the same day and I guarantee you'll see similar variations one to the next. These aren't calibrated to measure to the ounce.
