Personally I think there is something to be gained with some degree of
flexiblity in the mounting system..... the Camaro uses solid side mounts
with a urethane trans mount. I dont' have a mid plate... but I have seen
one that is relatively thin .... which I think would be alright as far as
flexibility goes...
Sometimes I think we get to wrapped around Drag racing in this sport.... We
dont' need the chassis to Launch the car... or do we?
