Speed: Buying 180 Knots for $180,000

摘要

Once we got into the research, we were pleased to find that the 180 for 180 club was not nearly as exclusive as we'd imagined. Split three ways, for example, it's a way to buy great speed for a reasonable price and have money left over to refurbish the interior and update some avionics.rnIf it were we, for a four-place airplane-recognizing that it's a two-placer in real life-we'd first look for a turbonormalized, early model Cirrus SR22, or even consider buying one that had not been converted and having the mod done. A very close second would be a turbonormalized 35-series Bonanza with tip tanks, as it would be like being fitted with seven-league boots-we could easily make 1000 nm trips at 200 knots or better.
