I used to own a T210--great plane, but I wouldn't recommend a 210 just to get
more speed, unless you need the extra seats and hauling ability, and are willing
to pay the higher insurance rates (6 seats means more potential liability so rates are higher).
The difference in speed probably wouldn't save a lot of time vs. a 182RG on a typical trip.

I'd run it at around 60% power, 13 gph, lean of peak, and it was always 150 kts between 6 and 8000 feet.
We had the Flint tip tanks and Horton STOL, which together probably trimmed a few knots
off of what it might otherwise have flown at.

I'm thinking of buying a 182 or 182 RG.
I like cessnas and the 182 is such an honest airplane it's hard to beat.

I'd just like it to be a bit faster.

If all of the speed mods are done to a normal C-182 , Good wheel pants, speed fairings, gap seals etc.....
how fast is it?

For comparision how fast is the C-182 RG or a normall 210? (Not turbo)
