This is an awesome show - if you go to Disney World in Orlando at what used to be the MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studios I think) check this one out. Its been a long time since I saw it but for some reason I want to say that they had a few of those cars configured so that the driver actually sits facing backwards to make them easier to drive in reverse. Either way, the amount of precision those guys use to control those cars like that is simply amazing.

Some reading says that most manufacturers govern reverse to keep people from going too fast.

I've got this buddy that has an SRT 4, and he says that his buddy has a Mustang and that they know that they can beat a 370Z in reverse. Now would that be from a standing start or from a roll? You guys think they can beat me? They wanted me to run them in the high school parking lot (of course this would after study hall!) RP

I live my life parking lot at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less in reverse, I'm free.

I also found that if I turn my directional tires around backwards, my car handles much better in reverse. I tried it without the VDC on, but lost control and sideswiped my phys-ed teachers car! RP
