I'm not qualified much to comment on your video.

I might help with camera location though. Yesterday, someone told me that you can use a suction cup to mount the camera to the windshield right around rear view mirror. If your camera has wide enough lens, and if you adjust it properly, you can get both the steering wheel and the road in the picture. I use a sound recording device with an external mic. I keep the recorder in the trunk, and tape the mic to the rear bumper. There is still some wind noise, but the exhaust note is pretty strong (and sounds awesome). This way reviewers can say if you're on throttle, WOT etc. I also have another camera that I put on the streeing column, I use that to record speed, gear, rpm etc. So that I can see if I'm consistent, or to see if I was carrying more speed if I took a different line..
