Did u use the suction cup to mount on the rear passenger window?
I used my GoPro HD on my STi in various spots. Best positions seem to be
- Passenger side rear window: captures inputs and everything in front, but requires no passenger
- dash: works well when you have a passenger
- grille: amazing footage and engine noise (i guess the engine sound is not applicable in P-cars
)
- rear window: tends to be a little too far from the windshield, but it works... not so well if you have a passenger.
I haven't tried the suction cup on the exterior of the car on road course, but I've had my GoPro on our GT2's exterior at the drag strip. It held up fine throughout the 10.2 @ 137mph run.

since I have a boxster I have one extra mount point the rear glass where you can see yourself shifting and gauges etc. but my favorite to date is the suction cup mounted on the front hood next to the badge. On the dash is not bad either but I prefer outside. even tried on the rear quarterpanel here are some links with different positions. just have fun with it and experiment. BTW the suction cup must be installed properly then it will hold up at any speed.
The fist clip shows it on the back trunk and on the front of the hood

I have one someplace with the left upper quarterpanel but can't find it right now, like I said, experiment it's all part of the fun

I've done...
on the helmet (with my viosport)...great angle but too much going on with harness straps, hans, cords, etc
In the boxster, a great spot is on top of the lower part of the roll bar in the middle. you get a great view out the front and get good views of you hands and where your head is pointed.
