Default Why You Do/don't Need To Scale A Car

When a car is scaled, it is done on certain assumptions that may not fit the way you drive. We don't all toss a car into a turn the same way.

It's possible that scaling a car only makes a difference to someone
who is either on the limit of their driving skill, or in a highly competitive
class.

I relate it to NASCAR racers making a pitstop and raising or lowering the rear corner of the car by 1/8 inch. If a person's ability is such that they can tell the difference that 1/8" makes, then THAT is the kind of person that spending money for scaling will benefit the most.

If a person has not yet arrived at that level of skill, the money spent scaling the car might be better spent buying extra tires and attending as many driving schools as they can.
-------------------
It's worth pointing out that if a person's driving skill does not match the
way the car was scaled, that the person will have to ADAPT their driving to the scaled car......................but if you did NOT have the car scaled, you would ALSO have to adapt your
driving....... to the "unscaled" car.-Bob

So only you can decide if it might make a difference, and if it is worth the money; to you. For the street, most of the time it doesn't matter.-Bob
