Personal best for speed in reverse is approximately 55 mph. Get's a little wobbly but keep the hammer down and it gets easier. Have not yet had the balls to do a hammer-head snap back and then drop into a forward gear. May need the F1 to hit it into 2nd to avoid read line on the snap back, something to try with the mother in law in the car. |

My most recent backing up was from a 1994 348 TB challenge to an 1989 328 GTB. I had planned the move for a long time and have no regrets. The only thing I miss about the 348 is the motor and challenge exhaust. When I think of Ferraris, I don't think new is necessarily better. Each model has a distinctive flavor and it's a great thing to have so many flavors to try! Dave |

When I sold my CRX and bought a Ford Probe instead I soon realized how backwards I went. Never again an American car! |

I thought you meant lost the rear end, spun out and slid backwards. Not me. |

In english, traded a recent model F-car for a older model. Why did you do it? Did you regret it or was it the best thing you ever did.... |
