Hm...I always thought "fast cherokee" was an oxymoron...

And yes, I own a cherokee 180. Would I like faster? Sure! Wouldn't
everyone?

I think part of my point is that the price of the 180 and the M20C are
pretty close. I'm not sure why people choose the 180 when its a good
30 knots slower on the same fuel burn.

I agree with you but I'd bet insurance and the cost of up keep added because
of the retrac gear has a lot to do with it.



Not to mention I could fit in a 180, but not a Mooney (although that is
changing...)
