brake fluid recommendations

Thought I'd throw my experience with AP Racing Brake fluid. May go by a differnt name now but when I put it in my Vette back in 1994 it was not DOT. Ran it for a couple of years including some track days and performed great. Car turned into a garage queen in 1997 and just sold it before picking up the Z a couple of weeks ago. Break fluid was still good in 2011. Only thing to be careful of was don't open the cap on your reservoir when the humidity is high. You can actually see the surface gurgling and sucking up moisture... Moisture = bad I'd say that 18 years service out of it was pretty good. Probably only 30-40k miles total though. Everyone was using the Motul 600 back then and it was great stuff too.
