If the SR22 had its design with retract gear, it would be much faster. Probably not. In fact, I believe I recall one of the Klapmeier's saying the design is already so slick, they figured retracting the gear would add only about 5 knots to cruise TAS.

TBO that will cost you $30K to overhaul and burns 20-22gph at 75% power. You have to haul so much gas for the brute that, for a trip of more than 300 miles, the payload of a Comanche 400 is actually *less* than that of a 260. this comanche 400 achieved a TAS of 275 mph at 19,000 ft Whoopee.
