For starters, the image you provided was photoshopped using motion blur filters to add an ever more drastic speed illusion. But it's possible to capture that shot without a mount, it's just much harder. If you're shooting with an SLR then you'll want to slow down your shutter speed, slowing down your shutter will allow the background to streak and keep your subject in focus in the foreground as long as it stays put, mind you that if you're shaky then your subject will be blurry as well. So not only is it important for the cameraman to be steady(if you're not using a mount), but it's also just as important that the car stays at the exact same speed and in the same spot in the frame as you're moving. I didn't use a mount for my shot, but if I had it would have come out even better. I think I shot this at 200(film speed) 60 or 30(aperture) f18 or 22(F Stop).
