Absolutely not. No fuel is not a "lean condition". No fuel; no heat. When the engine is operating below cutoff it's more than adequately fueled. When it's turning but in cutoff there's no fuel.
You could drive on the fuel cutoff for a week and no damage would occur. If you had an ignition cutoff it would pour unburned fuel into the exhaust along with a bunch of air which would instantly cause the catalyst to melt.
The only time a fuel cutoff is a problem is if you hit it in a car equipped with nitrous oxide while spraying. Car companies can't design cars to be sprayed - sorry.

I've pegged the limiter in every Fbody Ive had  plus the black one I used to have which was modded and had the limiter removed...and it was pulling past the 160 mark on the speedo.
Recently though, fastest Ive been was last weekend in Mexico bombing down a closed dirt/sand road in my rock crawler at 80+mph. I had to calculate it since I was pushing 3000rpm w/ 3.73's and 35" tires...which shows 86mph, but it didnt really feel that fast.
EDIT: I forgot on the way down we were going 85+ with the truck/trailer/crawler. Loaded weight was around 13k lbs. That was also on Mexican roads, which happen to be better than alot of roads here

I would go that fast if I could. I would love to have a Z06 or ZR1 on a racetrack or the autobahn.
Fastest I have been is 160 on a racetrack and 135 on the highway in my SS.

Yeah, I had my mustang at 120... thing felt like it was going to take flight any second, but wasn't quite sure which way it wanted to go yet. That car gets freaking scary above 100. But it doesn't have any problem getting up there...
If I had a newer fast car I probably would have one of those shiny 160 mph runs under my belt.

I also exceeded the speedometer on my parents 95 Caravan... it stops at 100, and I pushed past that going down a hill floored.
Who knows how fast I was going??!?!?!

163 mph in my CTS-V. Most stable car I have ever been in at that speed. The second being my old Lexus SC400. That car would run 150 mph all day long. My old 2002 Ram Air TA at 145 mph would get freaking scary. Always seemed like it was about to lift.

When you're talking about speeds of 150+ on a public road, the gap between those who say they've done it and those who have actually done it gets exponentially wider. You really cannot appreciate how fucking fast that is until you've done it, and some may never do it again once they've done it.
I can vouch that the side windows on a C5 actually 'pop' outward slightly at ~155 mph. I was scared shitless.
150+ on a public roadway is absolutely dumb. Mugging for the camera at 200 is equally dumb.

I ran out of road (traffic ahead) at 130mph, but that was fast enough for being on a public road.

No idea how fast I've driven, never really had a vehicle worth going all out, not to mention I'm not a fan of top speed runs.
My dad and I hit 145 in his MR2 on the Autobahn back in the 80's.

Topped out my Z28 more than a few times. Felt pretty good each time.
I want to add some power, take off the limiter and go for 175. 
Next time I go 162 I may take a video of the gauge cluster.
