Track Day Brake Fluid?
Did you guys replace the fluid before your first track day?
In every other car I have tracked I replace the lines with steel and replace the fluid. This car has steel already and I would think a good fluid. Tempted to try it as is. I don't take it easy, I have boiled lots of fluid in my Corvettes.

Castrol SRF. Also heard good things about Endless fluid, but never used.

I normal run Motul 660. Just thought maybe GM put something better in these. Guess I will flush it this weekend.

Another vote for Castrol SRF. I've boiled RBF600 numerous times, but I haven't tried 660. No issues with SRF though.

Never had a problem with the stock fluid 5 plus track days,
had it changed by the dealer one already my thought that with the CCB Chevrolet already using the correct fluid |

Castrol SRF is the gold standard but Motul 600 or 660 works fine. There are other brands that have a cult following like TorqueRT700 which I have no experience using. Anything is better than stock DOT3 GM fluid. Anyone that uses stock fluid with success isn't driving the car to its abilities.
