that's a good idea. then in everyday driving, you would already know your X's limits...and feel less unnerving.

Ah yes, there's that big downhill sweeper on the "back" side of the track. Totally caught me off guard the first time I played it on GT3. I was like "Yessss finally got up to some speed!" And before you know it, the track dropped off to the left and I found myself in a wall. Same thing happened at the very last turn (more like a U-turn) before the finish/start line. I just totally overshot the corner. Good thing is a game right?

No way, Jose! I felt like the car was going to spin a couple times and DSC saved my butt. The walls are very close in some areas and we were told that Laguna Seca is not the place to leave track. Maybe if it was a video game, yeah
Hmm, if you're going to oversteer (I'm assuming thats what you mean), you're getting on the loud pedal too early! That V8 has huge torque and Leguna Seca has its fair share of tight corners, so spinnin out is feasible. Maybe next time you'll shut it off......there are also a handful of wide corners that really encourage same tail-out antics.

Rotors

Did your rotors get warped from the heavy braking? Warranty should cover it anyway.

Why oh why does everybody feel the need to hide their license plate.

Killer pics though.
