not sure if you could hit min speed for vtec, could in an auto though (unless the ecu knows you are in reverse that is), i wouldent know if the speed sensor would know the difference between formard or backward:?

Any one who tries VTEC in reverse is gay. Why would you need it unless you fancy getting your rear in to someone else's front. :lol: :twisted:

Yes, if you "fancy getting your rear in to someone else's front", you could be considered gay. But if you're being chased and would like to perform a J-Turn... You're going to need to be going over 30mph.

There's a few attempts at it on Youtube, though no Preludes that I can see. And most of them don't even confirm whether they've achieved it or not. Just going by the sound, but all you can see is the speedo...
