no, i just drove it to show the guy how it was supposed to be handled. It looked completely stock except the pipes. I never did look under the hood. I had my GTR out there and while I was able to turn a faster lap time with the GTR, the R8 pulled really really hard. I think with time the R8 would have been considerably faster. He added all the HP but didn't touch the brakes--which is the FIRST thing I upgrade on my track cars. He said he had DOT 5 in there but I doubt that because the pedal got really really soft one me quickly. I had to remind him that anyone can go fast in a straight line! In that case, the brakes are less important.

Generally DOT 5 is used in collector cars that are stored for periods of time because it doesn't attract moisture, thus prolonging the life of the brake system components. Also I've heard of it used in motorcycle and snowmobile applications to keep the brake action from being too "grabby".
