can you break it?

i was out beating on the truck in "mexico" and i was doing some pretty long WOT pulls. i would pull through 2nd gear and a little bit of third, and then i realized that i had the speedometer PEGGED the needle was strait down, past 100mph and begging to climb the other side. these are purely mechanical, so my question is, at what point do they break?

will they just swing right around and keep going or does the cable snap and that's the end?
