Cardinal RG strikes me as just a tad faster/sleeker

It's slower by 10 knots...

C172RG at BFM


The POH

Also most of our club planes are brand new (8 years)... minus the
Cardinal and the Chieftains.


I seem to remember gettin 140-145 Knots true last time I flew the 177RG
last spring. Of course, with a 50 kt tailwind, I REALLY liked my ground
speed..

Dont base everything on the POH.. they can be overly optimistic at best
with regards to "cruise speed" and "top speed"
