Default The Fastest You've Ridden In Your Z ...backward

My personal record was around -20mph when I got chased by my ex-gf. What about yours?

5 MPH backing out of my driveway!

I went through a Texas DPS state trooper high speed driving course and I won the backwards slolom exercise. I believe I went around 25-30 backwards in a Crown Vic around cones! That day was a blast!

I'm not sure I wasn't looking at the speedo. Reverse is a lot louder than forward gears thats all I can say heheh..

About 20 (i think) wile doing a reverse 180 "james bond move" .It was fun but i need more practice. I got board at about 2 in the morning, after watching some older fith gear video on the web. I got to do it twice but my girlfriend freaked out and told me no booty if I do it again...needless to say I didnt do it again.

About 40mph... Reverse is taller than 1st gear.

How about spinning out of control after hydroplaning on the 836 eastbound "drifting/sliding" on both sides and after over correcting, sliding backwards at about 60mph. Luckly my skills from Gran Turismo allowed me to swing it back around and gain control again.
