My experience with the v tail Bonanza's is one of a safe, solid, overbuilt, comfortable, clean and fast aircraft. I would not discount the claims being made here about their performance. I have flown both the models below and have a high regard for them.

Reference V35B Owners Manual incl supplements 1972:

8,000ft, 2700 RPM 206 MPH or 178Kts.

Reference V35TC Owners manual incl supplements 1972:

10,000ft, 2500 RPM (75% power), 208 MPH or 180.54 Kts.

Just for interest;

V35TC, 24,000ft 2500 RPM 230 MPH or 199.64 Kts.

The above is at full gross weight, so if "racing trim" excludes excess weight, and the aircraft is not tired, I would expect better performance than this. I have both books at hand if anyone needs more figures.
