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!!!
