The Gopro Motorsports Hero camera is made to mount to your vehicle and it mounts anywhere you want with ease to your vehicle.  I just mounted mine to the hood of my Mustang.  Will post some pics shortly.  I found that Mounted on the hood, I get the great sound of the engine.  Took a few tries but now  I have it placed perfectly.  Great engine sound and the video is similar to a video game.  The Motorsports wide covers everything and I get a little bit of the hood at the bottom of the picture.  Its the real version of Need for Speed with all the sound effects.  If your not familiar with the Gopro cameras and in particular the motorsports hero, these cameras are tiny, wide angle lens and available in HD.  The best part of the camera is its simplicity to use and it mounts easily to anything and everything.  Completely shockproof and waterproof.  I’ve dropped my gopro a few times now and it still works perfectly, less a few cosmetics on the case.  The other great thing is that you can get a Gopro Camera for around $300 (that’s top of line HD one).

GoPro camera are one of the worlds smallest and best performing HD 1080p HD video and still photo camera around.  Check out the video quality on their website and I can tell you from first hand experience the video looks great.  Gopro was the winner of a Gizmodo gadget of the year honors, and was quoted as “This is the best sports cam I`ve ever used.”   -Gizmodo

            There are tons of options for the GoPro Camera, but car freaks will love and need the Gopro’s HD Motorsports Hero specifically.  The Motorsports Hero by Gopro mounts easily to your car, helmet, plane and any other vehicle.  

            Included in the Motorsports Hero are mounts for three vehicles, two helmets and a suction cup mounting.  The Camera is shockproof and waterproof.  GoPro has even mastered the sound quality by eliminating wind noise, so that you will enjoy the sound of your engine at 85mph.

            The cost of the GoPro Motorsports sells for less then $300 bucks and if you think about it, it’s a real steal for what you get.  There’s no other way that’s as affordable and practical to film action your car action.

Reviews from Popular Mechanics state that the sound quality was poor on the Gopro camera they mounted on the handlebars of a bike.  I did not read the popular mechanics article, but read it in the blog ”Gopro HD Camera for cyclist in Popular Mechanics“   First off I think the sound is okay with my Gopro Helmet Hero camera.  Its not the greatest, but its not that bad in my opinion.  Secondly who cares, my videos all get sound added to them.  I think this would be true for most users.  Love the Gopro Camera Hero  Lineup!!!

Everyone has a digital camera these days, heck I had 2. The both took decent pictures and video, the problem is that you never have them on you when you need them, because you never know before hand when you are going to have that ultimate ride, pull off that killer move or have that happy accident that makes your sport the thing you live for. 
The last thing you want to worry about is loosing or damaging your equipment. Not having to worry about your camera being secured properly because you had to come up with your own quick fix solution to attach it to your gear, allows you to be able to focus 100% on your technique, and be assured that everything is being captured.
Then I heard about GoPro while watching Nascar on TV – the announcers were raving about the drivers using these cameras during the race.  I checked out the GoPro website and thought – the digital HD camera is cool, and the video looks good, but it’s the fact that professional attachments are available to mount this camera to your helmet, bike, board, jacket, car – just about any sport equipment, and that it is designed to be water and shock proof was what sold me. 
I have had mine for 2 weeks now and can honestly say that the picture quality is amazing and you can attach this camera securely to just about anything.  I think it’s a steal for 300 bucks and unlike some other so called “prosumer” HD video cameras that that cost over a grand, I’m not afraid to strap this on and actually us it (without needing someone else there to shoot me during my ride). 
You are only truly able to capture the thrill of you sport on video if the camera is shooting from your perspective during the ride.
