do you want it on the out side of the car or in car? for in car you can get some aluminum box tubing and rig one up that attaches to the headrest

if you want to mount one on the out side of the car you need to buy a suction set up you can get super strong suction cup type deals at lowes that have a bush button on the side that you pump the shit out of and they create a real strong vacuum seal with your door or the glass then just wip up a little mount with some metal and a few bolts and lock in your camera real tight and bam you good. heres a link to a pdf with what i'm talking about

I can vouch for these things. a buddy of mine has mounted his on numerous a cars. how ever he did get more elaborate w/ a few out side the car. 3 of those some small tubing and a mount. reasoning was so he could get some good angles of the kills.

here is some of the footage Dave took w/ Roscoes 12 sec sunfire
