Testing out the GoPro
Here is the video and before you comment on the music I added it because my hardtop makes a lot noise on camera and I'm not sure how to fix that at this time...

GoPro and video stabilization = NO, no, no, no. Anything that youtube offers to do to improve your video? NO. That insane wobbliness is coming from the automated stabilization, the GoPro sensor will almost never look ok when stabilized, way too much rolling shutter.
It likely isn't your hardtop making noise it is the glove boxes, all of their rattles translate directly into the camera housing and creates that nice boomy rattling. Securing the glove compartment doors (removing the play when they are closed will make a big difference in sound quality.
Also, I am not normally one to say this, but moving completely into the wrong lane into a blind corner is a bad idea. There are plenty of situations on a mountain road when using parts of the other lane are perfectly safe, everyone does it, commuters, police, people out to have fun, but they do it in logical places. Doing that into a blind corner is asking for trouble no matter what speed. I understand that it is very different from the drivers perspective compared to the cameras, and you can see much more than the camera sees, having shot and watched hundreds of hours of driving at a much more dangerous pace than this, but watching this still made me nervous.
Audio is what makes a car video a car video, if you don't have good audio, you don't have anything.
