Default I would say no. Here's testing on a manual.

Default I'd say only if you have something like a Level10 setup...
As with any built automatic, the Level10 setup creates considerable driveline lash on gear engagement, which is why I have a snubmount, and my RS4 motor mounts are going in in a couple of days to replace my shot stock ones.

Default At Stage II+ (stock tranny) I think it's pretty smart for me to have a Snub...
I can't believe you were running stock motor mounts in that thing, it's not surprising they were shot.

Better safe than SORRY, especially considering the cost is minimal.
