How are you going to race on just 2 wheels and tires? Like this?

Hate to say it, but it looks slow...

Adding solid engine mounts and solid trans mounts to the build.

Dr. Chan seems to think ~650lbs of drivetrain will move around a lot at high lateral g given the soft stock mounts, as they are designed for some modicum of comfort. COMFORT! Well, we'll be having none. Of. That.

Seems a reasonable concern. Also, it'll feel more #racecar and thusly more badass when my fillings are shaken loose in the middle of 17 at Sebring next year.

Might want to consider semi-solid mounts. Several years ago, Tom warned me that solid mounts might fool the knock sensor into thinking that knock was occurring and erroneously pull power. Don't know if that's still a problem or not, maybe they've figured out how to tune that out.

2x Semi on the engine but that could be old school thinking anymore.

Good news everyone!

Engine mount is indeed semi-solid
