I'm not sure if this a repost, but has anyone made a top speed test in reverse? It sounds stupid but I was reading this article about it.  
http://autos.aol.com/article/reverse-gear-speed (http://autos.aol.com/article/reverse-gear-speed)
I mean I've held the pedal down in reverse once or twice but never actaully paid attention to how fast it wold go.

Why? The only way you'd know is if someone was with you or you weren't paying attention to where the hell you were going. Pretty pointless if you ask me.

BTW, the last line in the article says "don't try this at home."

Ummm why the fuck would you even consider this

I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon; what the fuck is wrong with you? Jk, just thought I'd add to the flamefest, but there really is no point.

Maybe there is no point, but then why would someone write a article on it and test it out.

Because they were bored, stupid, and it wasn't their car.

I didn't even want to read the article.

If I write an article on banging my head on the wall are you going to try it?

Guy has to write "something" to stay employed. Unless it's a truck or tractor trailer which actually needs some speed and power to reverse in certain situations, this info is pointless in a car.

lol He wants to by like tokyo drift. Drive reverse and flip people off ^^

Good one. How about writing an article on shoving a fork into an electrical outlet? That'd be a good read.

haha 12mph bla i can do 40 easy. You've never seen fear in people unless you go down a main road facing the wrong way. Fun shit, try it some day.  

you mean talladega nights?

I'm sure he's referring to Fast and the Furious 2?


I've actually tried this, the rev limiter taps out at 22mph. I pwn you all.

i still dont recall this happening in any fast and the furious film.

You remember, after they pick up the two cars and race to the impound yard. 'Brian' blows past 'Rome' and spins around on the interstate and goes in reverse, apparantly at hwy speeds and proceeds to flip off Rome.

ah yes, my mistake.  "apparantly" hollywood doesnt like to be realistic

in hollywood they have super vtaaak and only brian spilner knows how to use it.

yeah my bad. In in tokyo drift you do that to shoot at someone. its at 2:55

Fuckin ay. This thread is comedy.

I should being that I got first hand experience doing this

I don't even need to say anything to that one Rich.

Hey, when you're a kid, shit like this is fun

Dude, the OP hasn't posted back up after getting ragged on. Hopefully we didn't scare him off.

I'm still here. Can't believe how everyone looks so down on the article. You guys make it like you have never drivin blocks in reverse before. Did't think it was such a touchy topic.

I have never driven blocks in reverse, and would never endanger myself or other to do so.

Damnit! Where's the "I'm with stupid" smiley when you really need it?
