Default weigh station

Where could I take my car around Toronto to have it weighed? Or is there one at TMP and if so where? Are there costs involved, and how much?

looking to get a base figure for the car more or less, before I begin to try some weight savings without making the car appear that it has gone on a diet...(the bulky stuff can come out for track days...)

I go to the Caledon Landfill, take something light to throw out with me. Get my weight going in, weight coming out. Cost me $2 to do it haha.

FWIW, my '02 Z28, 6-speed, with the UMI K-member (-20lbs) but SFC's (probably +20lbs) weighed 3475 lbs with a full tank of fuel, otherwise, pretty much factory stock, full interior, etc.

Your car with the V6 would probably be in around the same weight I'm guessing.

I figure its in around there...I have no options in the car, and it is a hardtop...a/c's gone, and no spare tire or jack...should be in around 3300 I would guess...wouldnt mind some solid numbers though...
