Default Top speed in reverse

How fast have you driven in reverse?

My 89 vette had 2.59 rear diff. and would go 52 in reverse. I just realize my weakstang will only do about 30.

Yeah, who cares? It's already stressful enough for the whole drivetrain to be going backwards, so why increase that stress by topping it out? You've got an entire extra gear in the transmission spinning, you're going again the strong side of the knuckle on your driveshaft, and you're spinning your ring and pinion against the opposite, and weaker side of the gears.

No way man your stang will go faster you just gotta bounce the rev limiter for a while and you could hit 200 in reverse no prob.
