Default Easy(ish) Combo for 150mph?

Bored at work and looking to entertain myself with interesting thoughts...

If a person was looking to break the 150mph barrier, what is the easiest, cheapest combo to get you there? I realize it's not that easy, but some ways are easier than others...My initial guess would be a composite Q500 with Jett 60LX turning a smallish 8" or 9" pitch prop at around 19-20,000rpm. Maybe clip the wings a bit to help out. Should be relatively easy to fly, the engine runs well and throttles nicely and it is all over the counter stuff, no muss, no fuss.

Yes / no? Other combos that would do it for less?
