Default Speeding in my mustang

hey, well I just got my license and started driving. When I was with my parents, I usually went 75-80 on the highway. Now that I am by myself, I find myself going an average of 90-105 mph. Is this safe for my car? (And I don't mean like getting in to a crash, I mean like the engine; can it handle it.)

Yea, it's safe for the car...but idiotic for you. Dude..you JUST got your license..you lookin to lose it already? Seriously. Calm down, and LEARN how to drive it. You need a LOT more experience before becomming a hot rodder.

Do suspension upgrades and find a backroad. Alot more fun can be had under the speed limit than most poeple think.

OR get everyone to pool their money and send you to a performance driving school! That be wicked.

yup, if you really must, go onto a straight highway, and just let her rip, most people do it at like 3 in the morning, i prefer to do it during the day really early like 5 am or 6 am, before the traffic and so its light out and you can see
