the speeds you all are typing... where are you getting those numbers....?
please tell me it is NOT from the speedometer...the speedometer get less accurate as speeds increase...as much as 15% error is typical in speedometers in the high end so UNLESS this speeds are verified by a radar gun or some other tried and true method of measuring speed theses numbers are...well you know

From: http://www.insideracingtechnology.com/tech102drag.htm

Aerodynamic drag = 1/2 D x A x Vsquared

In this equation, D is the density of the air, A is the frontal area of the moving shape, and V is its velocity relative to the air. This equation shows an important point

Brave BS call but don't we need some figures to apply this equation to before it means zippo? Maths was never my forte but good luck with this one I see problems in your immediate future.

In case you've never come across this, this is an interesting article on intentional "error" on speedometers:
