its funny how speed becomes relative to what your brain becomes used too.
I renewed my SEP recently in a PA 28 after having flown jets exclusively over the past four years.

I was mind boggled at how slow it felt after such a time away and also remembered when I moved from the 150 to a PA28 when I got my licence many moons ago what a rocket ship it was in comparison.

But this PA28 felt very very slow and toy like which took some getting used to.

I am not complaining because it was a lovely experience floating along the roads and watching the traffic below but slightly amusing when reading discussions on how fast these little singles are I am talking about the difference between 90 KT cruisers and 110 KT cruises not so much the slippery mooneys or Cirrus which do need more control because they are slippy
