the whole corvette reverse thing could be similar to the pontiacs that something about the reverse light comes on during a shift or something? ive never ran a z06 or run at a 1/4 but would he honestly shift into 5th? idk about rpms mph and so fourth but shifting in 5th that far down the track seems impractical. i dont see him actually going into R but who knows.
You would have to be otherworldly horrible at driving to put a z06 in reverse during a 1/4 mile run. In fact, it may not even be possible.
The transmissions the GM uses have actuated gates that control shifter movement. Most notably is the stupid skip shift which makes you skip 2nd and 3rd when you're babying the car. I don't know for certain as I've never tried, but there's likely a gate that also keeps the shifter out of the reverse gear.
To get into reverse with the car at a complete stop requires a reach and a decent amount of push to slide the shift lever over far enough to engage reverse.
Not to mention, with the gearing the way it is, the video above would have the driver going from 2nd to reverse. The top of 4th gear is around 150mph.
Alas, to engage the reverse lights would mean the guy actually managed to do that. This person may in fact be the worlds worst driver.
trev where was that from?

I don't know man, I think if he had indeed shifted into reverse the result would've been a lot more eventful than that. Wouldn't the wheels lock up or something?
now this is one clever duck:
