Well I also doubted those numbers until I had 2 experiences... the 1st was in the '98 Copperstate Dash, which I flew at 7500 feet, early A.M. (very little wind) and had an average speed of 201+ kts from a standing start (including climb) to a flying finish over a 300 nm course. The 2nd was the testing done on my plane by the Cafe Foundation (Feb. 99 in Sport Aviation) who showed a top cruise speed of 233+MPH at 6000ft. Not too shabby for a stock IO320 on which the only modification is polished intakes. Beleive Lancair's numbers. They are correct.
