Default Do our cars have liquid motor mounts?

i was browsing through old topics and someone mentioned
that our Z's V6 has liquid motor mounts???

I've lately been getting some vibration through the gas pedal when I accelerate,
so I thought it MIGHT be the motor mount...but after I read the old topic,
i'm just confused

Also, if the motor mount is broken, it should rumble when you're at idle right?
My beater Honda does that.

When i peaked it looked to be made of rubber or polyeruthane. Not sure about liquid mounts, those would be too heavy for a sports car no?

the engine is supported by liquid mounts....and in a front crash the engine is supposed to break free and drop down rather than come back into the seats.

When I was shopping around for a car, before I bought my "Z", I looked at the "G" and was told that this is what happens in a front crash, and they showed me a "G" in the shop that this had happened to. I defer to Jason on the "Z".

could it vary by year, perhaps the 03 or 04 350's use rubber while the 05's do not?
