How can an RV-9 possibly cruise 50 mph faster than a 152 w/same engine
yet stall at the same speed and give up nothing in terms of stability, etc.?

Don't have the details, but the CAFE Foundation has a cleaned up C152
that's about 50MPH faster than stock...

Quote from the CAFE Writeup:

"1. Obtain RV-9 kit.
2. Unbolt engine from Cessna fuselage...."
