More Porsche nonsense. Mike James runs the Florida-based NewsBlues a subscription-based website that covers main-stream media. Here is his Christmas Eve post:
We have a gift for you this Christmas Eve. We’re going to strap you to the roof of a Porsche Carrera, put the Surly Editor® behind the wheel, and take you for three quick laps around the legendary Sebring International Speedway.
EDITOR’S NOTE: For you photogs out there (and we know who you are), the video was shot with GoPro’s HD Motorsports HERO, the world’s highest performance 1080p HD on-board video camera. It shoots HD resolution at 30 frames per second, carries a 2½ hour lithium-ion charge, and attaches with a huge suction cup mount. You may note a bug splattering into the lens at 5:10 into the video. Bad luck for the bug. We estimate the speed at about 135 mph at the time of impact.
The roof mounted camera does not pickup the engine, exhaust or tire noise, just the whistle of the wind. Pretty boring, actually. Do not even hear the thwack of the bug. Not at all like GranTurismo.
That camera would work great with emergency response on-board videos. Only $300. Check out GoPros sample ofHD videos HERE. THAT’s more of what I need!
Imagine how the Riverdale winter Olympics would have looked like!
