Track Rats, interesting new brake fluid
Looks like it can replace Castrol SRF, & is about half the price. I might try it next fluid change from the Motul FBF600 that I have had good luck with over the years (my last case is now gone through).

Prospeed's new RS683T brake fluid offers exceptionally high dry and wet boiling points plus proprietary CompressionFreeT technology that provides the absolute optimal brake firmness and feedback.
Prospeed RS683T is the ONLY racing/high performance brake fluid developed and manufactured in the USA! Prospeed RS683 Xtreme Performance Brake FluidT meets and exceeds all DOT 4 requirements of FMVSS 116 and SAE J1704. Prospeed RS683T is compatible with all brake fluids meeting or exceeding the FMVSS 116 DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 requirements.
Mixes with all Dot 3, 4, and 5.1 fluids, but full system should be flushed for maximum performance.

There are alot of brake fluids in the market, As good if not better than the Castrol liquid gold. I have been using the Motul RBF660 and the RBF600 over the past few years.
This year I am going to use RF650, there are a tone of top teams including Braun GP, Risi Competizione, GMG Racing, Manthey Racing (won the Nurburgring 24) with Endless fluid and Pads.

It looks like the reason it is half the price, is it is half the size. Looks like it it 16.9 oz, castrol srf is 33.8. So, looks like it is about the same price. But still interesting anyway, especially for the american angle.

The add had some interesting reading, & I like the fact it's an American company. Way back in the day UUC was an all US company, they did all their own stuff.

just as an added bit of information, some cars need fluid like SRF because they run their brakes hot, I collect dat at track events from all the guys parked near me, I see front rotor temps coming off track over 800*F on some cars, these are the cars that need brake fluid w/ as high a temp rating as can be found.
Unfortunately there are any 993 w/ stock brakes at the track days I go to, but I can tell you that mine w/ RS brakes only sees front rotor temps in the 4-500*F range and gets along fine w/ plain old ATE200 changed regularly.

I've been using Super Blue for years and the only time I've boiled it was on a 100 degree day in July in my old Evo on wide R Compounds after running back-to-back sessions so my friend could try the car out.
