I seem to remember the Bellanca Super Viking or may the turbo-Super came
with 300 ponys up front. Of course that uses pretty old, cloth covered
technology. Surely the Cirrus is much faster since it is new technology
(laughing with tongue in cheek)...

the SR22 is fast compared to other planes with smaller engines, but
compare it
to a plane with the same 310 HP engine, I dont think you will see much
speed
difference.

what other planes out there have a 310 HP engine?

Holy crap! I guess I should have done some more research first...

I really, really, really like the performance spec's and looks of the
Currus.. My wife read your comment and now she's put off on the idea...
Gonna have to find something else now before she but the breaks on a new
plane purchase..

I personally would not buy one of these airplanes until:

1) The airframe life limit of 4,030 hours is rescinded or at least
tripled;
and

2) They find out why these planes are falling out of the sky with such
regularity and do something about it. If this behavior keeps up, the
FAA
is
likely to ground the entire fleet; and

3) Something is done about the atrocious quality control problems that
Cirrus has been having.
