Amazon .... provides a vendor for $69/Liter... overall cost.
When looking at the different vendors factor in the shipping cost when
chosing.
Changes periodically...

Be careful with the production date on some of those cheap advertised prices. That stuff has a shelf life, and though i dont want to throw a number out there because someone will start an argument with me, My OPINION would be 6-9 months. Spend a tad more and get it from a supplier that moves alot of product like CV Products or HRP world.

Not to be a hater but I though Whatcop? got a ZR1. I personally think the SRF is a waste of money. I just got back from VIR today with record temps of 106F and had no issues with just ATE Super Blue for $15 bucks a liter. Why spend $75 a quart, I would rather flush more often than spend 5x. The ceramic brakes took a beating today with zero fade lap after lap.

Because $75 is cheap and you get the best brake fluid. I don't screw around in the pit area bleeding anymore. I bleed some off once in a while in the garage between events when I swap out pads. The stuff doesn't boil.
Consider the money you spend on all the the things you buy for track. The cost of the brake fluid is minor.

Exactly. I had the Willwood stuff in my Z06 and cooked it in one day and that was ~$20 a bottle

Firgure your cost per mile with SRF not the cost per oz.

In the hot and humid area I reside you still bleed SRF since it is still hydrophillic. Driving two cars back to back I see no brake fade difference. Your results may vary.

ATE will boil on you it's going to happen in turn one..
It's just an in convenience when it happens usually loose a session .. Some ABS units go all crazy once it happens if they suck up bubbles.
I would recommend if you can't justify SRF use at least Motul 600.. ATE is like using padgid orange pads.. They do the trick but there is so much more technologically advanced products.
Good luck either way I hope you get the car to the point you are cooking pads!
