The only problem I see with the GoPro's is that they are super wide angle, which is good in some cases and not so good in others.
Brent,

A 'standard' video camera might give you what you are looking for, to augment the video from the GoPro. I have not used one yet, but understand that Sticky Pods work well.

They are supposed to hold even heavy cameras, but one would need to be careful not to scratch the paint with the cups. What would be cool is multiple cameras, that have external microphone inputs, that are fed all the same audio from a high quality microphone, that is out of the wind, but captures all of the sounds from the car. I hope the next generation 'GoPro' cameras have an external mic input. The end result will be different views from the car, but with a consistent wind noise free audio track.
