Zero to sixty in reverse?
 
Guys, I know our beloved twins are all about a pure driving experience and we leave the numbers game to the mustang crowd but I'm struggling with my zero to sixty while in reverse. I've been at it for three hours but can't seem to reach it. I do have some new odors coming from the engine area however and a check engine light came on right after the knocking started. Anyone with any similar experience?

Bro, you have to more than one reverse gear to do that shit it doesn't come stock. I have heard rumors of a kit coming out for sale but all this stuff you see on YouTube is probably custom as of yet.

(Hybrid cars you just have change one parameter and your good)

I expect more out of a 25 thousand dollar car! Lol

I'll have to scour ebay for a set of taller rear gears. Maybe throw a new motor in the basket as well.

This is why people have staggered tire setups. You get better gearing with tall rear tires and it allows for these stunts. Use the search next time.

I would've searched first but my right arm is locked in position around passenger seat and my neck is stiff from having my head turned to the right for 3 hours.

The Dodge Caravan can do it with ease. Pretty sure that Humfrz did it in his Saturn before the pillar stopped him.

Lantanafrs2 04-10-2020 05:13 PM

The caravan has a longer wheelbase too which really helps with what becomes rear steering

Too much oil in the engine. Drain at least half of it and try again.

Have to get the kids to duck down and move the hockey bags aside for visibility though.

Transmission swap from 1959 DAF 600 :thumbsup:

On a side note, can we convince the admin to make a reverse burnout emoji in honor of this thread? :burnrubber:

@ichitaka05 can you make it happen?

3 hours? Nobody lasts that long. ;)

Yep, I can't seem to get up to 60 mph in reverse before I run into something - :sigh:
