My first attempt at doing a video from the back of the car. A few lessons learned and will get more video soon on our next outing.

Good first try. I suggest engine sounds and a very low volume of music.

Go pros can be fun...I tethered mine to the tailgate thankfully or it woulda been gone forever.

Next round get some exhaust sounds with no music/talking if possbile.
Anyone know how to eliniate wind noise when its mounted outside or minimize it?

Yeah, I had it on the rear deck lid and it picked up too much wind noise. I'm going to go rear bumper next time and see if I can get the exhaust more.
The flash from the z06 was an effect I added, his car does shoot small flames on occasion so I added that to mess with him, lol. Forgot about that. I'm lead car in a coupe.

Thanks for the ideas so far!

As someone who also screws around on YouTube and plays with Go Pros a couple of things.

While I totally dig the music style, it's too much. I made it about 1 minute in.

Also agree that more engine sounds are always better.

As far as wind noise, get yourself some aftermarket mics, extension cables, and deadcats for your Mics and you will zero problems with wind noise.

I bought a refurbed Hero 5 black for outside the car duties as it was cheap enough that if it were to fall off I wouldn't cry too much. That being said I generally only use it on glass and it has never fallen off.

My biggest thing I have not been able to overcome yet is engine noises so loud that it overdrives the Mic and starts popping and static. My car is quite loud at the tips though.

Good luck and have fun. Will check out more of your vids as you come up with stuff.
