The camera filmed upside down, i corrected that if Final Cut.
Engine sound is like this with the open back plate for the cam with it mounted on the bumper.

I used the GoPro camera with the non waterproof backing (open), without a microphone, the sound came from the lower bumper camera, i cound't believe the sound quality would be this good.Dash cam was mounted to the windshield.
Suction cap to windshield and from there to dashboard... interesting I though that won't be possible with the lenght of the suction cap arm. I also didn't want anything (even small things) blocking my view. I attach mine to steering column. If I use 720p mode for widest angle, I can with both speedo and rev counter. Kinda fish-eye effect due to wide angle but still OK.

I will attach my Zoom HD to the lower grill of the front bumper and test it out. Your results are encouriging. I will also try rear bumper to get exhaust sound.
