    Check out this YouTube video of a California and several other cars cruising together. This is one of the coolest amateur car cruise videos I've seen on YouTube because it includes shots from at least four different GoPros recording simultaneously.

    Sorry, but:

    1. The editing is terrible. All too often, what's going on from one shot to the next is completely unrelated. There's very little continuity, which is distracting and annoying.

    2. Mötley Crüe is cool and all, but there's far too much Crüe and not enough Ferrari in that soundtrack.

    Now, here's a multi-camera car video done right:

    Notice how you see his hands begin to turn the wheel in one shot, and in the next shot, the car is turning in that direction? Hear how even the shifts match up from shot to shot? There's perfect continuity from each and every shot to the next one because somebody spent some time editing this video, instead of just compiling a bunch of unrelated shots in random order.

    And notice how that glorious V12 isn't drowned out by music? Yeah. :)

    Aren't you comparing apples and oranges? The video you posted was professional...this one clearly isn't. I only pointed the other one out becase it was an amateur upload. It would be terrible as a professional video, but it's not. Quality amateur gopro videos are a lot rarer than you would think. Afterall, who is going to spend a ton of time editing a video unless they are getting paid to do it? It does seem to only use one audio source, which hurts sound quality pretty bad and creates mismatches between sound and the video on the yellow car, but I can easily follow what is going on, what route was taken, etc. The music is way too loud though. Maybe the original sound didn't come out good. Looks like they sped up the playback speed on all of the frames too,...but that's a pretty common method for avoiding after the fact speeding tickets. I wouldn't try to compare it to the one you posted though,...that's from a YouTube channel with 4,700+ subscribers (which better be good as a result),...its not just a random upload like the one I posted. Amateur uploads are usually filmed with a single handicam or gopro. All I was saying is that it was pretty good for an amateur video, and I still think it is even without added graphics, professional editing and better sound. Most cars and coffee style amateur car cruise videos are completely unwatchable.

    The amateur video is decent, but the accelerated parts (during the accelerations) were not needed, at least there they should have kept normal speed and car sound.

    didnt even watch the 275 video cause I hate historical cars. They're ugly.
