I own 3 GoPro 2's and one GoPro 3. The GoPro 3 comes WiFi equipped and the Black model has a WiFi remote included. You can also download the GoPro app and run it off it. I bought the Motosports version since they come with the suction mount and several different gadgets to make it easier to mount it inside or outside. I've run well over 170mph at Talladega with the camera mounted outside and countless runs at the drags.

The GoPro 2's will need to be upgraded to allow WiFi so it would be cheaper just to buy the 3. The GoPro 4's are out now but haven't invested in one just yet. Here are a couple of videos from some of the events I attend.

Tim, your Talladega video won't play. It says "This video contains content from Warner Chappell, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds"

I've seen it numerous time before though

I have three gopros as well. A hero2, hero3, and hero3+. All take vid in 1080p, or less if you desire. Both my hero3 and 3+ can be used with a smart phone app free from google play store. That app is almost a must have IMO.

As Tim said, these suction cups hold at any speed. I've been up to 160, and many many times over 150, never an issue. 170 Tim? I did not know that, you baller!!

Video from my hero2 suction cupped inside front windshield


Video from my hero3 suction cupped on outside rear window.

Thanks every one
