Nice article, Tom! 
You should frame it.
I know it makes no sense to swap out motor mounts, but let me tell you... I'm 100% sold on these Prothanes. I'm not going to get the 'shaved' ones from JDM, but the direct factory replacements.
After riding in Jed's Roush, you can actually feel the power. It's different than a harsh suspension feeling, but more of the engine/drivetrain vibrations you feel. It's not 'over the top', but just enough to remind you that you're riding in a muscle car.
What it feels like to me.. N: 20% V: 40% H: 5%
Yes, got to pilot the Roush today, it was awesome!
Did several full throttle accelerations passes with full boost, and that baby just pulls to no end!
With his KB, full Roush suspension, Coast DS and the Prothane mounts, it feels like a friggin' race car.

It probably won't shake at all! 
I don't really care about that, I'd rather feel the engine rumble.
I have it, but didn't open it yet.

I think its a great mod, I didn't realize how much the engine moved till I got a car with a shaker. I just need to see for myself if I can put up with the additional NVH.
I must be getting grumpy as I get older Let me throw this out there and see what you guys think. I'm thinking of loosing the shaker and going with the regular saleen blower. It would look like the car in the pic below. What do you guys think?

On loosing the Shaker, that looks like a good option. I like the way that hood looks.
Of course, the collectors out there (as well as PJ himself) will give you hell about it. But ehh, who cares!

Happy Birthday! Why didn't MySpace tell me???
-------------------------------
I'm going to get TURBOCHARGED emblems. I don't care about people knowing it's turbocharged - I'm not looking for races. In face, I WANT them to know after spending that kind of money!!
Should I get red ones to match the interior?

Or all chrome ones? blue ones? black ones? block letters?

After I get them, I'll figure out where to put them...

I use facebook, hardly ever check the other. That was a great article Tom. I think you could take most any somewhat powerful car on the road, and make it to a SC State Trooper, they have like everything.
