Does it hurt to "tap" out your speedometer?

I have the 85 mph cluster and was just wondering if it hurts to go past the 85 mphs on the speedometer. I was cruzing last night and decided to punch it, when If inally looked down I was WAY past the 85 mphs. Does this hurt my 'Stang at all?

nope... not in the slightest bit. Granted the higher the sustained rpms over a given time period is going to wear the engine quicker but as far as the speedometer itself, not at all.....LB

I bet it will hurt the wallet when you get pulled over...

No its just fun to watch the little needle start going around again. Did that in a car with an 85 speedo and 4.10's without the speedo gear.
