Which Go Pro Camera to get

Looking at getting a go pro camera and mount.
Which one do I need. Want to mount on side of car.
Doesn't need to be top the line. Just something to video the runs.

A lot of tracks don't allow them mounted outside the car anymore. Was told they need to be metal cases and srewed to the car now.

I bought the GoPro and the LCD backpack so u can watch the videos right there, or hook up to a laptop. Think I paid $149 for mine about 3-4 years ago. Any version should be fine then get the suction cup mount for I believe another $20. Takes great videos and our local track has no problems with them so far.

I have the Hero 3 white and have used it with the suction mount at Bradenton and Showtime dragstrip numerous times. Takes excellent video and sound.
