if you have a rear wheel drive car and you drive in reverse does that mean it technically turns into a front wheel drive car?

Back in my ATV/Offroading days I had a Polaris Scrambler 400 (380cc, 2 stroke) with a variable transmission. It would do 68MPH forward (clocked on a paved mile). It also had a reverse. There was a button on the bar that overrode the reverse limiter so it would go as fast backwards as forwards. I tried it once...still cleaning my pants and only got to about half throttle.

Hey, where'd you get my picture!
I was facing forward, not smart enough to think of facing backwards, might have worked. It did make for some fabulous reverse donuts at night though as I had added backup lights to it. I was told it was like a well-lit tornado.

CC read by speed sensor. If car isn't going 25mph, they won't turn on... aka reverse can't go that fast.
If you do it, make sure not to follow Mustang's path and hit everyone on the way. |

You said it wouldn't work because it is regulated by minimum speed. Why couldn't it work if you were doing 25 in reverse?
