How in the heck does new brake fluid effect how a car "runs"???

I did my "Winter maintenance" and got the car ready for the trackday that we'll run tomorrow as part of Third Coast. I'd changed the oil a couple of weeks ago, so I only had to flush the brakes and check tire pressures. Then, I washed the windows and went and filled up. Man, does the car feel good. It's amazing how a simple thing like new brake fluid would have such a big influence on the car's running condition.

Maybe, it's maintenance Karma?

Oh, it could also be the air filter. I picked up a new one from Roger today. It must be turning into Fall. I could've raked the leaves and moths off of the old filter. It is amazing how much stuff the intake sucks in.

Can't wait to see how she does on the technical MSR 1.7 mile course compared to the 911.

Given the current condition of the 911 engine the S-4 will be MUCH FASTER....
