Worried about the turbo and engine burning up? Ever hear of the "Long Run?" A fleet of Saab 9000s ran full throttle at Talledega for 60,000 miles or so. Average speed was 135 mph (this in 1986). No problems. Your concern should be the automatic transmission (if this is an a/t). Downshift manually to 4 (or even 3) on upgrades to keep the torque converter locked. I tow my from Ohio to Florida every autumn and back again in the spring, with an '02 Aero Wagon. The CV and towing dolly together just meet Saab's 3500 lb. towing limit (electric brakes on the dolly). You just need to remember that it's a passenger car, not a semi-tractor, and drive accordingly.
