Default Vtec in Reverse?

What would happen if you put it in reverse and just stomped the peddle? Can you actually hit vtec going in reverse?

LOL

Don't think the reverse gear allow you to go up the rpm that much.

reminds me of this post lol..

read to page 2 here is what he wants to do..


Real reason I'm asking because a friend is getting a 93 Corvette and he wants to race me. I said we can race to 30 mph because I think if I go from reverse I'll get better weight transfer and beat him, but I'm concerned about making full boost since the turbocharger will be spinning backwards.
