S70 Performance Specs? S70

For 98, the top speed is elctronically limited to 143 mph in U.S.
(the max rating for the tires that came with it). They dropped that
a bit on later model years.

My 98 T5 owners manual says 243 ft lbs from 2700 - 5100 RPM (turbo
engines have fairly flat torque curves).

The weight is probably close. The owners manual typically lists a
range of weights to cover all models and options. S70s are 3150 to
3300 punds and V70s are 3250 to 3520 pounds. Assume a loaded
T5 with automatic transmission to be at the high end.

Oh, max roof load is 220 pounds :)

For the most part yes. Top speed... what country are you in? If US, then 135 mph.
