a torn engine mount will not make you lose torque from your engine. But it will affect how well your engine delivers its power to the ground. A torn engine mount can make your torque steer worse, your car track crooked under acceleration, and increase wheel spin/hop during hard acceleration.

Thanx if what you said is true about the engine hitting the firewall, new mounts are needed in the front and the rear, especially the rear. And you will feel a big difference with new mounts. -------------------- |
