All this talk about different fuilds makes me sick. Any good fuild should work just fine on a track car (ford, motul, srf, ate or any other brake fuild). The biggest problem with the braking system is not enough cooling! Our brake ducts on the C5's have turned a brake fading car into something that works well at the track. It keeps everything in the front cooler and more relible. We have changed our molds to fit the C6 for the same purpose, KEEPING IT COOL. These ducts will save you money on pads, rotors, fuild, and fenders.

Not a DOT 3 fluid with a low boiling point. It is about safety...why take a chance?

DANNOV,
I meant good fuild, something that has a high boiling point. Not some cheap daily driver stuff. All of the good high performance fuilds are about the same give or take some degrees and $$$. The reason his brake fuild boiled was not because of 10 degrees, it was smokin hot, way over what the factory crap is good for. Everytime you go to the track or street you are taking a chance. Good car prep will reduce the chance. Good fuild, ducts and good pads.
