Porsche has the best pedal feel of any stock car I have ever had the pleasure of driving. If a significant fluid performance differential exists, I think Porsche's would be the easiest to notice. But in a car with rubber lines and floating calipers....

But I guess it doesn't really matter. I am not going to shell out +$150 for brake fluid. 1 liter might be able to do it, but I am always more comfortable with 1.5 liters (3 bottles). Nothing worse than over bleeding a corner only to need a pinch more for that last caliper.
With that said, we understand that the RF-650 is a hard sell to street guys (for obvious reasons), price being one of them. That's why we offer the S-Four brake fluid, competitive against the Motul RBF600 and offered at a lesser rate.
