C-182 or C-1820RG, or C-210....

I'm thinking of buying a 182 or 182 RG.
I like cessnas and the 182 is such an honest airplane it's hard to beat.

I'd just like it to be a bit faster.

If all of the speed mods are done to a normal C-182 , Good wheel pants, speed fairings, gap seals etc.....
how fast is it?

For comparision how fast is the C-182 RG or a normall 210? (Not turbo)

I plan on an honest 140 IAS in the 182RG I rent, some may say faster but I
never count on it with this particular plane.

That doesn't tell us much if you don't say at what altitude you're
indicating 140.

A 182RG can be as much as 20 or as little as 10 knots faster than a
straight-leg182. I've flown a non-turbo182RG that would true 155 knots,
but I am told that is exceptional. My friend's 1976 Skylane trues 133
knots at 6000'. I once rode in '99 Skylane that did 142 KTAS at 7,000.

And I've read reports of airspeed indicators with instrument error of more
than 10 kt. Plus each aircraft has its own static source position error
which affects the accuracy of the airspeed indications.

Any conversions from IAS to TAS aren't worth too much unless you've done
the testing to calibrate your airspeed indication system. TAS determined
from GPS groundspeed on multiple tracks can be accurate, if you know how
to do the calculations properly.

FYI I have a '78 210M, I fly it at 6000 ft, 2400/24, 70%, 88pph, 165 knots
TAS...

Stay with the straight 182. More useful load and rear baggage
compartment volume with not much of a speed loss. Lower maintenance
costs are another plus.

It normally trues out at 153

Check out the 260se 182.... anybody comment on the negatives of this mod?
price/performance/ comparably priced different aircraft?
