Default How fast have you driven in your WRX.........in reverse???

Thought this might be a fun thread.

Personally for me, probably like 15mph. Granted you shouldn't really be looking at your speedo when driving in reverse!

Edit: NOTE: OP is not responsible for your stupidity should you try to break the land speed record in your car in reverse and kill the car/yourself in the process.

I think I read somewhere the average Reverse Gear can do up to like 45mph from a stop. That seems crazy fast for 1 gear, not to mention going backwards.
