According to the other guy that founded the Range Rover forum I run, in the 1990s when they were getting P38s as traffic cars the training for "really really stop right now" was to throw it into reverse at 70mph and plant the throttle.

It appears that ZF 4HP20/4HP22 gearboxes can do this an unlimited number of times without apparently being damaged, but I'm not trying it on either of mine.

I have always wanted to try that! I'm not going to try it on any car I own either. It is all just super high risk, and I just don't have a spare car laying around that has the beans to pull that off.
