SleeperX, here are some pictures of the camera mounting setup. I went to a camera store and purchased the hardware and rigged up a custom mount that can be placed on any window. The videos you see are from the passenger window and at the very upper corner of the window. This mount can be on the front windshield or the rear window too.

I use a Cannon SD900 at super VGA quality and format it with 256K sound quality by mid range video quality when I covert them to Adobe Flash files. A 1 minute video run is over 100 mega bites in size as a .AVI file.

The camera sits on top of the bolt.

One more thing. I can rotate the camera when I am driving to change the perspective. To accomplish this, you need to look at the mounting vary carefully and make sure you mimic how my camera is mounted to the device in the pictures.

Do you have a pic with the camera mounted or can you point out where the camera is mounted?

Look at the last picture I posted. See the top right portion of the mount with the bolt pointing up. The camera mounts to that bolt. The camera swivels on top of that bolt. I will try to get another picture in a few minutes.

Yes, that looks fine. I purchased a few extra connectors and make one that would work on any window.

That is the car. Very fast. He loves it too.

The Red 997TT is a 2007 BBI Autosport Signature Series Stage II. He had 91 octane and a passenger videotaping. Also a very fast car and sounds great.

RS38 has a spectacular aura aboutRS38 has a spectacular aura about
if I see the vids and the few mods of the convertible, the only way that could fit to compete with true 700 hp cars could be driving insane high boost in the mid revs and shifting early. stock K24 cannot blow enough air to get more than ~570 crank-HP. you can play with ignition and lambda when using high octane, but I cannot think of a way to compete this good with ligher 700 hp cars, do you?

and how do these videos can explain the slow 60-130 times?
