Energy Suspension Mustang Product Takes SEMA AwardEnergy Suspension e-mailed us to let us know it was the recipient of the SEMA New Product Award for its highly anticipated Ford 5.0 motor and transmission mount sets. Utilizing an improved low-profile steel design similar to the stock convertible style with tough HYPER-FLEX formula polyurethane, this heavy-duty mount has the strength to handle the torque of highly modified engines without the vibration of solid metal-style mounts. It effectively eliminates unwanted motor movement, putting power to the ground, and resulting in improved throttle response. Positive initial reports are already flooding in. Mike Gearhart, Ford Motor Company's Race Program manager comments, "These performance mounts are actually smoother at idle, yet they're rugged enough to handle high-horsepower launches again and again." The mounts are now available in black or red in sets of two, or they can be paired with Energy's patented transmission mount for the ultimate powertrain upgrade. Energy's motor mount and transmission mount sets were runners-up in SEMA's Performance-Street category.
