I can tell you pretty much exactly how fast I can go in reverse:
40MPH, redline limited.


It's all about gear ratios!

They almost hit 60mph with the 300. Before I watched that video I would have thought 30mph tops.

I will admit I was more fixated on the guy's girlfriend.

The 300C's reverse is a 3.16:1 which is higher than my 3.55:1, plus the rear end might also be higher.

I remember someone mocking them for it.

I wonder what their reasoning was for a reverse with two ratios?

Likely the OD unit was after the reverse range.
