Navid,
Please explain to me how to drive Laguna without being hard on the brakes. I
ran on Friday in the 1:55 to 1:57 range with crappy tires, half boost and
boiling brake fluid. I used engine braking as much as I could but still cooked
the fluid. A 1:46 is insanely quick... Now you make me want to modify my stock
car!!!
