this is from PMO's ad in the october '03 panorama.

I was thinking about solid motormounts for my racecar but this article makes you think. Maybe the 911 clubsport mounts are better.

well - ya gotta consider his perspective - he doesn't like them because they may increase vibration on the engine and make his carburetors run bad due to sloshing and vibration.

been a while since a serious 911 race car ran carburetors ...
i don't even have caarburetors on my street 911 - and i just installed solid mounts this weekend.

i'm doing solid engine, clubsport transmission - in my 914.6, i plan to do it the other way 'round. (solid-mount the most-aft thing, compliant mounts up close.)

i'm glad he likes the WEVO approach to improved shifting - still not quite there as an option for midengine 901 transmissions AFAIK...
