I drove the car.  Isn't that enough?  I will even let you take the picture, but PLEASE!!!  No more cylinders!!  

 

I am having enough trouble looking after these four.

C'mon Ned, I personally like the bang out of my 2 extra cylinders !!!

Oh my very good friend Houman:

Someday you will be in the Caravan and possibly even an element Lead. And I would be proud to be your wingman. Then you could see how my nimble little E would jump off the runway some 300 feet before your Rocket and perhaps understand more of my situation.

There was a video of a Bonanza (6 cylinders) filming an E model takeoff and the E model pilot could not keep his on the runway beyond a certain speed, while the Bo was not getting airborne yet. Can't find it now, but here is another one. See https://youtu.be/dACFIVHW_uA

Your heavier Rocket is like the Bo. Faster at climbing and at altitude. Go for it.

I like my E.

That looked for all the world like an F. Your E should be off the ground sooner! 

[Ned Gravel]

Yup. Very true Hank. Wish I could remember where I saw the other one.

I think that was an AOPA video. The E wants to get started...

The 10% bump (180 to 200hp) shows up in the race from 0 to T/O speed.

Similar experience going from 280 to 310hp on a LB.
