Brake Fluid?

I'm leaning toward AP Racing Super 600. What are you putting in?

What's the best?

"Best" wet boiling point, Castrol SRF @ 518f.....AP is much lower at 311f

Dry boiling point is when the fluid is brand new, you want to look at how it performs when wet.

Break fluid should be changed because it will absorb water. But why change it when new? Does GM recommend changing it?

if you are going to track the car they recommend you put in proper racing fluid...it does not come with it as delivered.

Same as the ZL1, GM recommends a DOT 4 fluid in racing applications vs DOT 3..
