Something broke!

Well I was out yesterday and had a run in with a rustang..you know the out come. But after I got close to home I pushed it a little on take off. When I did I heard a loud thump come from the floor board under the console like the tranny hit the floor or something. It only does it if I nail it. Any clue?

my tranny mount broke within the first half year I had the car. I replced it with an ES poly mount and haven't had a problem since. Some people complain that the ES mount is to stiff and transmits driveline noise into the cabin but I think the car feels great with it and the added noise isn't very noticable. I do have an M6 though.
