so a friend told me about some mini dv cameras that were VERY cheap. i got mine from ebay for $11 bucks shipped to my door from china! i know for $11 bucks the sound and video probably wont be better then the GoPro, but you could mount this to ur drive shaft its so cheap lol. and you wont be out 300 buck and be mad when it breaks...
here is a pic of what it comes with

here is a video i shot with it.

video has some jello effect at higher speeds. could be cuz my mount was not the best.
and might as well forget about the sound...almost all wind noise, might be better inside the car or if you but some tape over the mic.
here is the ebay link.

Sorry, it was a cool idea, but you can't beat the original. The HD video is insane, the sound is pretty good considering the camera is stuck out in the open, and the as long as you aren't a moron, the camera isn't falling off the car. You would sooner rip the fender off by pulling on the camera when it's mounted before it fell off. And the case is waterproof too.
A sponsor here, norcalauto, is where I got my GoPro from, and it was $249 shipped. That is a great deal. It's the HD version with all the mounts.
Here's a nice video, takes it up to 180mph. Turn it up to 1080p!

Do you guys not see that this thing is $11 dollars??? I just bought one!! No duh it isn't as good as the gopro, but it is $11. Pretty awesome. I will just keep it in my car in case a race comes along and im alone.

Kinda need a separate audio source due to wind noise (the GoPro HD seems to have pretty awesome sound capabilities all things considered) but for $11 I'd say that is pretty sweet. Cheap enough to buy several and mount all over the place, could cut together some pretty cool videos I'd think.
