 Well, my girls vary. The turbo M35A2 runs 50 and seems ok. that being the norm with the rest of the turbo deuces in our MV club. But my Non-turbo M35 on the flats will litterly pull away from the turbo's. Been told once that I was flying just over 60 mph and I usually run about 2300-2400 in her and she flies!!! But when the hills come...........she is a slug.
