Hahaha, I love it!

Technically, yes I'm sure it could be done. Will the reverse gear handle the power? No.

I don't think this is funny at all when some of us are trying to get into the server only to see stupid crap like this.

Yeah dude, run 200 shots in reverse so we can laugh at your clown a$$.

I agree %100. Nothing like getting the infamous message and then getting to the forums and seeing this. [Heavy sigh]

Get a supercharger and you can boost going in reverse.

Power + RWD (because you're going in reverse) = TRACTION

Hm...something new to try: a 1/4 mile run in reverse. At least the 5spd guys won't have an advantage anymore.

DON'T try racing in reverse. It is very dangerous. I did this once in my old camry, and I lost control only by a slight turn of the wheel, which is very easy to do if you're in reverse. Fortunately, I was in a huge parking lot and the tires were really crappy, so the car just spun out. I swore to god it felt like I was gonna flip over the car. And besides, you'll never know what you'll nail in reverse. Don't race in reverse.

YES you can use nitrous in reverse...I did it (sort of). I was in a car when it was done. My friend has a 75 shot in his lexus and he forgot that he had it on and was in reverse and mashed the gas. Needless to say his tires smoked and we went flying. He did it once, his car is fine but he would never do it again. I used nitrous in Neutral and had the needle to red line in an auto, that was 20,000 miles ago and the car is fine...I wouldn't do it again...
