It's my wife's car. She does have a lead foot, but a car with an SS badge should be able to handle someone mashing the loud pedal from time to time.

I think the top mount bushing is shot too. There is a lot of play in it.

Your signature shows that you have polyurethane upper mount bushing and a polyurethane trans mount. Where did you get them?

Thanks

More good news ... after replacing the lower front engine mount the clunk was replaced by a "popping" sound.

AND while driving it I got a p0306 CEL. Probably unrelated, but more annoying than the popping.
