How fast can you go reverse?
 
I'm curious how fast our reverse gear can reach. How fast have you gone in reverse?

150 and in the driveway

I concur with the above posts.

Cmike2780 07-17-2010 08:40 PM

Never had a reason to go fast in reverse, but I wouldn't go pass 15mph. I suppose it comes in handy for J-turns.

shadoquad 07-17-2010 08:40 PM

It depends. I hear 7AT are capable of faster shifting, so I give them the advantage.

TheSnakeJake 07-17-2010 08:41 PM

sometimes i only drive in reverse to switch things up a bit. i have reached 65 mph on the interstate no problem...

If you floor it in reverse, you will impode, open a wormhole in the fabric of space-time, and be forced to have sex with your great grandmother.

Which, BTW, is totally worth it :tup:

Her corpse is mouldering in a grave somewhere, but in the late 1800's she was a serious piece of *** :tiphat:

She can't say no now.

I'm sorry, that was offensive, even for me.

but still funny.

Very fast! I have 6 forward gears, and 8 in reverse!(I like to get out of trouble faster than I got into it!

I once was just walking and slip and fell into a black hole. The best I ever had. Oh not that kind of hole.

Chris@FsP 07-17-2010 09:53 PM

I hit boost in reverse daily.

fullmonty 07-17-2010 10:16 PM

When i hit VTEC the whole world goes into reverse.

yellowgold 07-17-2010 10:44 PM

Sure, you're first gear of reverse, but I have 6. Yours came with 6 reverse gears, didn't it?

That was awesome +1 rep!

spearfish25 07-18-2010 11:23 AM

Spin the wheel while going as fast as you can in reverse. It makes you go even faster...

sonic370 07-18-2010 07:14 PM

fast enough to run through the garage door:ughdance:

Personal experience? Full wood one, or one of those flimsy sheet-metal ones?

no not really. first thing i do is open the garage door. kinda worried one day i will be in a hurry and forget.

with the blind spots on these cars you can get much over 2 to 3 mph when backing up anywhere!!!

I worry about hitting mine with my roof. Sometimes as it's opening I get a little too impatient and drive it. I'm sure situations have happened where I've only missed it by inches.

sonic370 07-18-2010 08:26 PM

Been there done that one to. Thinking about hanging a tennis ball from a cord
so i will know how far to pull in before hitting some shelfs
