I've never heard of such a thing even existing. How the heck would it measure it??

Unless you know your HP / 1/4 mile times, it can't be calculated from inside the car... Most people need to know the weight in order to calculate them... (You could always run it at the track, I guess...)

i'm sure it is possible... but you would need to place sensors and special weight mats that would go between the suspension and the suspension mounts on the car and measure each individual sides, then have a computer that calculates it all and displays it for you to see in your car. Probably cost somewhere around a fortune. Oh and it would have to take into account the weight of you tires / wheels and suspension.... in other words... there is a reason why they havent made this...

Now what if it already knows the weight of your car and you decided that a few lbs of variance didn't matter. Could you put scales in the seats and do a computation based on the amount of gas left in the tank?

heh. It would still be a big waste of money. But less wasted money.
