TT: goo dpoint! DUH!

Sameer: yeah, we've got a number of ideas. You can't "call" out the speed when the camera is there, so we would have to either run two camera, or just leave the speed out. I dunno how it would work out, since none of the cars have roll bars to which you could mount a camera inside... we tried on a regular 360 to capture the speedometer through the engine-glass, but it doesn't work.

I was assuming two cameras - one in and the other out. For the inside camera, did you consider a camera mount that attaches to the seats ...

Take a look at this for various options ...

I'm pretty sure I saw around some simple mounts that actually stick onto the inside of the windows quite easily

OMG. Honestly you are going to have two of my favorite cars. The Stradale and the 550. I just feel great that someone can really fill their passion.

Good Luck with the whole deal
