And that is what I was thinking: Of course, all other things being equal, driving backwards would be less efficient. Lower gearing, more steering corrections, unnecessary and easily removed protrusions, etc.

However, if you quite literally reversed only the shell of the body, but the gearing, engine layout, etc. stayed the same, I'm almost certain the results would be different.
