Drag coefficient for a 122 120-130

I'm afraid you'd be somewhat disappointed if you did 'give it a go' in the T5. I believe most S60 T5's are electronically limited to 130 mph, although I'm absolutely certain they'll run much faster. The older T5's (850 series) were limited to 155, and in at least one bone stock example that I know of, you could bump that limiter on level ground. The S60 has somewhat better aerodynamics and another 25 or so horsepower, so 155+ would be no problem.

WRT the potential expense of such an endeavor, I must say I agree wholeheartedly. The last ticket I got was something on the order of $150 for 13 over in a 70. Ouch!
