Honda Brake Fluid good for track use?

Has anyone taken their 4G TL to the track? Is Honda heavy duty DOT 3 brake fluid good enough for track use? If not, what do you put in your car? Thanks.

Are you going to run a professional tarmac circuit and try to outpace an M3 through the turns, or are you just going to auto-x in the cones? Big difference in your needs.

In either case, you'll exceed the abilities of the stock pads/rotors/tires long before you run into brake fluid issues.

Stick some drag radials on there, drop the suspension 2 inches, and running on some 8 pot brembos with 18" rotors - okay, maybe you'd thinkg about lines and a flush / refill with RedLine....
