Spohn, I use a cheap flip camera (about $50) with a custom mount and window mount, total about $100. I just don't like the go pro cam as camera shots without seeing the steering wheel is not great learning tools...

You just have to figure out a mounting solution. You can use the rear glass but given how wide angle it is you end up with a lot of car interior in the shot and not much road.

This one has to be one of the best cameras out there, just expensive. Combine with an external mic it is great.

I like the rear quarter window

As well as attaching to the drivers seat. Helmet works well also.

That's true.

Wow man! I looked at all of the numbers... you crushed A LOT of other cars there. I would have thought the Evo's would have at least been close... very nice job 1 sec off of a GT-R too? Doesn't get much better... REPS!

Thanks man. I was very happy with 5th overall behind some serious hardware.

Found the in-car video from the FTD car - the DSG 240RS Maxi. It has run events with Redline TA and GTA as well.

oh no question about that. Without know mods and power and such obviously I can't say a whole lot, but even if the GT-R was completely stock, and with all of the electronic control and such only being 1 second behind would make me really happy too.

Yes the GT-R I was running with was bone stock, he only has tires. After each session he would take it for a 10 minute slow drive to cool down the overheated transmission.

Nice, Chris!

Spohn, the GoPro gives you a lot of bang for your buck. I'd pick one up, I'm sure you'd find yourself using it a lot.
