Default Super Blue Brake Fluid

Anyone here using Super Blue Brake Fluid in their Vettes for track days/auotcross?

I attended a Porsche Club event and cooked my stock brake fluid. Many of the Porsche guys are using Super Blue, including a high dollar Porsche GT3 car.

I plan on attending their next event on March 25th, and want to completely flush the brake system on my C4 and use the Super Blue. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I've been using ATE Super Blue in my car for 3 years now. Its worked good for me. I run about 3 HPDE events each year and a few autocrosses as well. I've never had it boil on me. I run at Brainerd International Raceway and brake from about 130 to 50 mph twice each lap with 8 other corners thrown in. I've very happy with it an don't plan to change to anything else.

I've had no problems with it, and I can pick it up at a local shop, so it's easy to get.

I use it, alternating between the Super Blue and the Typ 200 which is gold in color.

I used the Super Blue and the Typ 200 as well as the Motul RBF 600. With fresh fluid (system flushed) I couldn't tell any difference between the the ATE and the Motul.

It could be my imagination but I think the Motul is a little more suspectable to collecting moisture.

Currently I've got ATE in both my '86 track car and my Z06.

Can't go wrong with it. I run it in my C5 and my E36 M3.
Motul is also excellent.
