Agree with Leadie…
The real issue with C210 for the novice pilot is that it is the first airplane they are likely to have flown which is less forgiving of mishandling at “high speed”.
There are several of the type that haven’t made it home and the wreckage would infer that the aircraft was inappropriately handled/managed in the conditions it was allowed to fly into.
it has little to do with the engine - more to do with the wing and aerodynamics. I can’t see how you can break a C172 in flight without heaps of effort, but rolling and pulling a C210 at 160 KIAS - well…
