Anyone else catch the new Car and Driver? Page 40 has a whole write-up on the new engine mounts. Quite interesting...

 

Just got the issue today and read the article.

Much more high-tech than I had imagined.

 

Is it possible to scan, please?

Thanks!

 

Here it is. Not sure about legibility.

 

Many thanx 4 posting pdxjim....

 

WOW!....sounds like something that would be on a F1 car. Very techno stuff.

 

till it breaks...... this is what i want when they cant RMS to stop leaking...!!!!!! lmaoooo
now they send out TSB about aftermarket exhaust and warrant issues???

probably end up saying if you use car on track the wont warrant the engine mounts/......

 

Thanks!

 

They should transfer the guys from the engine mount department to the RMS department.

 

You, Sir, are a first class cynic!! So am I and you have a point but i don't think i can resist ...

 

I wonder where the dynamic engine mounts fall in stiffness compared to the standard mounts. In the full stiffness mode would they be stiffer than the standard mounts? I’d also be curious to know how much weight these add.

 

The real question is would Racer X order Dynamic Engine Mounts?

 

looks like it weighs a gazzilion pounds each!

 

It's actually very simple and robust componentry and expected to last the life of the car...according to the head engineer.

 

In their softest setting they are twice as soft and in their firmest four times as firm. the regular mounts are a huge compromise with performance losing out. When we drove the cars on the press paunch they wanted to prove how well they worked so they encouraged us to drop, literally side-step with no feathering, the clutch at 4000rpm. The Car 100 feet of rubber with no axle hop as a result of the dynamic mounts.
