Gee, and here I was thinking I was going to get flames on my first post

There's still time to get flamed I suppose?

Except maybe for the bit where you said u bought your $60 million supra for $27k on road! What a crap depreciation rate ay!!

But seriously i agree with you all cars have their pro's and cons, each are good in their own ways

Yeah it depreciated just a tad :)

I was driving a 6 cyl turbo the other day and was doing a bit over 400km/h, 400m times were not so good but on a standing 1000m I could easily do 250km/h

What I said was true only the engine was made by Lycoming and was beside me not in front. It had a friend with it on the other side we were at 10,000 ft.

Did we get some loop'd'loops in, sure beat a rollercoaster!

Whats its top speed?

Loops would be a very scary thing to do in a Navajo. G forces would probably snap a wing and it would fall out of the sky.
It will do about 230kts TAS at 14000ft.
Best ground speed I have ever had is about 430km/h but I had a good tail wind. Others have had it over 480km/h
The engines are Lycoming TSIO540s. 310HP 540 cubic inch 6 cyl turbocharged. Max power is at 2600 rpm redline is 2700.
There are no speed cameras in the sky..

Okie doke, I think that just about finishes off this thread nicely!

Dunno if this is the same people or not but Nizpro in melbourne are after 350Kw at the flywheel by chnging the conrods to high performance versions and stronger valve springs also the addition of motec and increase the boost a touch.
