Default Brake fluid?

What are you guys using?

I Wanted to run ATE Super BLue Racing Fluid. I've had it in all my VW's for years. I called my Euro guy and he isn't sure if it's OK for the Vette. I believe it should be, But any input would be great...

Thanks

I use the dot 3. It's been stopping my cars for 35 years without a problem.

I've used that as well as the Ford HD brake fluid, which is a cheap alternative for track days, it has a very high dry boiling point.

Thanks,


F1Fan, You have used the ATE with no problems? I want to take my car to Lime Rock this year so I figure the ATE would be best with the higher boiling point.
