OK, so it’s not a question everybody will have asked… but i’ve often wondered what speed you actually end up doing when you’re driving in reverse.
I remember hearing a story once about how Saab 9-3 Turbos used to still engage their turbo in reverse (and end up being a bit mental) and i’ve often meant to fire up CamerAware and have some fun!
Well, the Civic Type-R i’m driving at the moment has a digital dashboard, and I discovered the other day that it registers the speed in reverse too!
Cool!
Of course, having thought about this a bit more (yes, pointless I know) I have a bunch more questions…
- How quick CAN you go in reverse?
- Does i-VTEC cut in >5k RPM in reverse?
- Does the MPS turbo cut in >2.5k RPM in reverse?
- What are the acceleration times in reverse?
Good job i’m old and sensible now, honest…

PS I’d like to point out the picture below was taking going FORWARDS… hehe…
