… solid and semi-solid engine and transmission mounts in these cars is very tricky.
The way the car's ECU deals with pre-ignition (knocking) is by monitoring engine vibration and then adjusting timing.
Many of these solid and semi-solid mounts do not dampen the normal harmonics thus the vibration sensors believe the engine is knocking and adjusts timing therefore reducing power.
We've tested a few Boxster Spec Racecars where we install semi-solid mounts and record their best time around Sebring.
Then we change the mounts to OEM and the car looses several seconds per lap.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
