Default Budget Retracts - Anyone own a Sierra or Comanche 180?

It is broader and roomier than an Arrow. That interior space comes with a
penalty. I also do not believe an Arrow will get 140kts at 75%

Is that at 75%? If so, it's about 25 kts slower than an Arrow which uses
essentially the same engine (Lyc IO-360). Slower than an Archer with 20
fewer horses and fixed gear. That's pretty ugly!

Are you sure you're remembering to raise the gear?
