Awesome car, looking forward to seeing it at MCACN!

I would advise against silicone brake fluid unless you are just looking for a show queen. The water not absorbing into the brake fluid isn't necessarily a good thing, as the water will then be capable of "flashing" to vapor if the fluid goes over the water's boiling point, which leads to soft pedal. The hygroscopic action of the brake fluid is there to be able to absorb some moisture without affecting braking performance until it becomes oversaturated (and you bleed). On the plus side, silicone brake fluid doesn't eat paint. But that's about the end of the plus sides...
