Drag coefficient for a 122 120-130

Old Volvo's are just aerodynamically styled, not aerodynamically engineered.

I remember how my old 1800E's steering wheel would get lighter and lighter as the speeds went up, until past 120 or so you'd think the front wheels might be getting close to lifting off. A spoiler from IPD fixed that. The PV definitely needs more HP to approach the same speeds, but when it's at 125 or so it feels very secure and planted.
