Default Go pro camera question

Ok so I want to buy a go pro camera. Which one is the best bang for the buck? I want something I can mount inside or outside my car.

Does the remote turn the camera on & off?

How does it work?

Separate controller?

Look into a swanns freestyle... YouTube the difference and see for yourself. With the freestyle, you get all the adds on free and half the price...plus you can edit videos very easy compared to go pro.

P.S.. here clown put up a new pic of the pretty intake over in the waxers section now. It is slow over here at the moment. I am sure Jay & I can get things going on it. Robert

Yeah, but the video quality is terrible. Even compared to the original GoPro it doesn't look that great. It looks MUCH worse than the Hero 2...and the Hero 3 is leaps above even that.
