I know from personal experience as well. Reverse is just like any other gear. If you're accelerating (backwards or not) you're going to engage VTEC.

He drives a MSY ITR. He probably broke the tires loose when VTEC engaged.

I've never even had the clutch all the way out in reverse. I'd wager my car hasn't traveled more than a few thousand feet in reverse.
