I'll let someone else try this. An airport runway is my recommendation.

You're gonna hit VTEC about 30 mph in reverse which is very fast for a "RWS" (rear wheel steering) car. Unless the front wheels are perfectly straight the car will veer sharply and when it hits VTEC...

Just conversationally, the rear diff has hypoid gearing which was designed to transmit power in one direction.

Trying to do what your are espousing is going to reduce the life of your diff. Maybe to 0.....

In any event, if you still want to try this, take video. I'm certain we would all like to see how this works out.....
