tire spin in reverse question

I have made the tires spin in reverse but not hop and I did not notice any problems with the car afterwards...

no, your car shouldn't be damaged. But don't intentionally do it. if you had a FWD and did it you'll eventually tear your motor mounts which you don't need to worry about.

and no it's not because it's your strongest gear.. wtf..

I would definitly not recommend doing this...

I have a friend with a 93 cobra...he had a slightly used set or DR's on his car and put the car in reverse and floored it....awwfull wheel hop and when he took the car out of gear he had destroyed the syncro for reverse and 2nd gear...by the time he had driven home his whole transmission was toast from all the debris floating around inside........

Didn't Jackie Chan do a burnout in reverse at the track? Thought I read that thread somewhere...

Yeah, he apparently did.

I had a buddy cut a donut in reverse. I think it was a FWD car. Broke the "axle".

I've done that a few times, horrible wheel hop

Sorry darkhorse this is off topic but did you get your wheels and tires installed and could you please post pics. THANKS

Got my tires in today (The Goodyear F1 GSD3's) I *tried* to get them mounted today before I went to work, but ran out of time. By Saturday, they'll be on and I'll have pics

some good tires for the rain. not so bad in the dry either.

i did it a couple times in my 93 4banger auto back when i was young and stupid, and yeah, as a result i burned out reverse so bad that it wouldnt move in reverse unless you opened the door and pushed it back with your foot for a while first

Your tires will hop in reverse because the weight is transfering off the rear of the car, and the suspension is unloading instead of compressing. Would there be any problems, If you do it all the time, maybe.

lol i did a reverse burnout once, lol wasn't fun, bad wheel hop, loud as hell too, someone in my apartments came down because they thought i hit there car

my bud does it all the time in his 96 auto v6 mustang

no problems at 80k miles

why would you do it intentionally? just do a forward one instead

My roomate did it all the time in reverse in his 02 v6 when he first got it. He liked doing J-turns.

So much wheel hop

I recommend against the burnout in reverse. I saw a previous post where the driver said it was very costly!!

In the Movie "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen, he does a wicked reverse burnout after taking a turn too fast while chasing the Charger. You can see the wheel hop all kinds. Check it out-Best chase scene ever.
