HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

wow, lots of replies already, thanks guys

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.

hahahahaha, this guy has no grip on gearing and transmissions I assume

Wasnt this posted already? i swear ive read it on here before.

ruined

geez, you guys post quickly, I was busy running an experiment to try to figure this out for myself

I was thinking “how can you prove that the engine is running backwards” when it hit me, I can use a balloon. So I got a balloon and put it around the exhaust tip. I figured when I start the car it will inflate, but when I put it in reverse it will suck the air and balloon back in. So I started the car up and went in reverse about 10 feet then turned the car off. I went and checked the tail pipe and sure enough there was no balloon, it got sucked inside the tail pipe. So I got back in the car, started it up and drove forward about 5 feet. I got out and looked on the ground and the balloon was right behind the tip. So when I pulled forward it shot the balloon that was in the exhaust back out and thats why it was on the ground.

So yea, engine runs in reverse in reverse, now I just need to do it again and see if I get full boost.
