When I bought my Boxster @ 47k miles, the mount was shot - and I didn't ever feel the engine. Now that I have an enthusiast mount, the engine is louder most of the time, and transmits a vibration to the seat around 3000k RPM. If you buy a new Porsche mount, you will probably eliminate the vibration and get better quality shifts. Buying an aftermarket mount will keep the vibration, but get you better launches.

Oh, and my brakes also squeel a bit when they are warm, especially during the summer.
