I still find it very hard to believe that you will feel a difference in a street-use car with rubber lines and floating calipers (the sport is a fixed caliper, but the base is a floating caliper). All that slop in the system makes the statement a little hard to buy.

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.
