Default Delrin motor mounts thoughts?

As the title states... Had solid Spohn motor mounts on the Camaro and loved them. How's the solid / Delrin type on a Vette? No issues with heat for these right?

Car is a 2004 M6, and will probably be paired with a Hoosier Performance Trans / diff brace

A friend of mine just put solid mounts on his 2012 GS and he does track the car at Road America but dislikes the shear rigidity on the street. He says the majority of drivetrain vibrations are felt through the shifter.
While lateral stiffness/handling is improved; the jury is still out on street hooking with such a tight and stiff sidewall tire.

I'd just hate to put in a god awful expensive set of poly and melt them, or pony up even MORE cash for heat shields.

If you are concerned with heat, just buy some heat tape and wrap before install. I have serviced many cars with them, and never once noticed and deflection due to heat/age.

MTI makes some really nice solid mounts. 3 heights to choose from for the guys running the FAST 102/
