On a related note, what solid mounts are available for this car? I got so used to them on my previous vehicle that I kinda miss the direct engine feedback.

I know, I know, "search"...but we're already on a similar subject!

It's like an upper motor mount.

I like mine. I think it makes a difference. It's a mute point because you can find them for ~$150 and you can risk trying it yourself instead of putting out a feeler for it. Just make sure you get the puddymod bracket with it.

in terms of the dynamics, it should be better to have one.

realistically, every time you step on the throttle, the engine block would try to turn side to side. but that motion could've been outputted drive shaft, allowing a more prompt driving response.

I have a cheaper NRG one.

Its about the feeling and response more.

If you have a worn engine mount it might help abit too.

It give the car a more direct feel when you stamp on the throttle and reduces engine movement - not that it moves that much. I think it will be usefull at high revs and when accelerating hard from slow corners.

It can feel a difference but afar as actual reducing power loss probably miniscule.
