General question???

Does anyone know how fast the 370Z can do 0mph-60mph backwards??

semtex · 03-08-2009, 06:09 PM

LOL. Now that's an interesting question. I wonder if reverse gear will even go up to 60.

Xavier Raymond · 03-08-2009, 06:21 PM

I read in a German magazine that the 370Z goes so fast in reverse it's almost like going back to the future?

I would think a car has a max of like, 25mph in reverse. Sounds fun to test though.

Wtf

Anatoray · 03-08-2009, 10:04 PM

That is an odd question... I'm willing to bet the 370 can go pretty fast in reverse, probably 25-30, but why? You want to film a chase scene in reverse?

I remember some show did something like this a while back (90's). Don't know what show it was tho. Top gear when Tiff was on maybe?

It will go faster than 30... It will likely be about 10-15 miles LESS than the first gear will get you. Reverse is usually just a little bit bigger ratio than your first gear. However, Nissan may have put a speed limiter on the reverse as a safety precaution. (I know I would.)
