It has a higer boiling point and wont absorb water like dot 3 or 4 will. Its purple and wont peel your paint either, but I never used it so I dont know about how it performs.

Thats pretty much the reason I am using it... Just wondered if anyone else has... my dad uses it in his old muscle cars and he likes it a lot. never had a problem.

the problem is the fact that it wont absorb water instead the water just sits in the lines and rots parts out from the inside in your diligent about your bleedings and dont mind paying the money for it its good

I heard that it also can result in a "spongey" brake pedal feel for some reason. It may or may not give a firm, hard pedal feel. Seems like it has more negatives than positives. And it's quite expensive.

It has it's uses - as said above, old collector's cars are a good use for it. It won't suck moisture out of the air, so it's good for cars that sit a lot. It also, as mentioned above, will simply let any water that does get in pool at the lowest spot, rusting the brake lines from the inside.
It's also slightly compressible. This is what causes the spongy brake feel. In an old muscle car, you couldn't tell if the brakes were spongy or not, so it doesn't really matter. On an FC, you certainly could tell the difference.
Don't use it.
