And when you glue an O-320 in the nose of the 150 or 152, you have an airplane that has the capabilities of doing everything better then the 172. We can get off the ground faster. Climb faster. Cruise faster. Carry an equivalent load. And still retain the nimble feeling of the 150 or 152. And one can have all of this is at a cost far far FAR less then purchasing an O-320 equipped 172.

The only thing the 172 has over the 150/150 is that with the 172, one can carry adult passengers in the rear seat.

To me, the 172 is a bit of a semi truck... that can't haul much. But wait! You can fly a 172SP which is still a bit of a truck with a 180hp engine! Yee-haw. Not quite. Now, what's cool is that there are 180hp 150s running around. THAT is an airplane.

Wayne:

That really hits the nail on the head.
