I was surprised that a Town Car can do 63 in reverse!

I think I've gotten my MM up to about 20, wasn't watching the speedo! :D

Well considering I have a DTR. Reverse is faster than Drive. So I've gone about 17 MPH in reverse.

Never in my MM, but the many CVPI ive driven i damn near burned up the tranny in reverse!

You can only go so fast in reverse before the trans start to whine and complain! lol

Maybe that should be an event at the next Marauderville?

Don't push down so much - it just makes smoke! ;)

Have had mine over 40. Wasn't gonna push it anymore, steering way to touchy

55 but in a front wheel late 80's GM something, Buick century?? Anyways, steering got the best of me, but as luck would have it that Buick and I saw eye to eye and danced the most PERFECT 180, dropped in drive and took off, never taking up more than 15 feet of road! I could never in my life recreate that act of awesomeness!

Averaged 30 while drag racing the boss's kid in matching F250's every single time we went plowing for years.. Now try that!

Best I ever did in a marked car was 47 Mph in reverse, trans was screaming.
