[s-cars] motor mounts

[Cody Forbes]

You don't think that using launch control to build 1.0-1.2bar of boost at 5,0000rpm then letting go of the clutch has an effect on that motor mount? How about if I add that the intercooler size forced me to remove the snub mount entirely?

I'm not saying the heat doesn't get to it, I know it does, but I know [from the out-dent in the hood] that that engine tries pretty damned hard to twist itself out of the engine bay. FWIW the factory engine mount heat shield and cooling duct are in place and I typically wrap the mounts in heat reflecting tape, but I can't recall if I did it to the current one or not.
