I installed Pedro's Race Mount several months ago, my original mount had almost completely disintegrated.
The Race version of the mount does give more vibration, particularly at 3,000rpm. I don't have a problem with it, just don't cruise at 3,000. I either go faster, upshift or downshift. The vibration is minimal at other engine speeds.
For me, I see the benefit in a rigid engine mount. Less power is lost in hard acceleration, as the torque cannot lift the engine up. Also handling is better as the engine doesn't shift around whilst cornering. I am now considering replacing the transmission mounts with some semi-solid type to really tie things down.
At the end of the day, we own sports cars, if I had wanted a comfortable ride I would have bought a Mercedes.
