1) The reverse gear is the lowest gear, so your engine RPM's will stay high. Plus it puts a ton of strain on the tranny in general. Reverse is only meant for like 5 or 10mph... not 30.
2) It's hard on your CV joints because the force of the car is making them literally want to rip out the side...
3) If you have certain tires, the reverse peel-out goes against your tread pattern, causing excess wear.
