I have been here a while, have had many Mustangs, including a GT500, and I personally do not recall ever saying anything about how driving over 120 MPH is safe.
I have taken my Mustangs out on old country roads where I could see clearly and run them up through the gears to maybe 80 or 90, and in hindsight, that was probably not the safest thing to do either. Going to a track is the smart thing to do, IMHO.
However if your friend, or anyone else for that matter, drives fast in a residential area, then that is a very bad decision.
I am not sure of your friend's age, but I bet he is a younger driver. With more driving experience and as he gets older, he will realize that in a residential area, there could be a young child on a bicycle that may be riding along and be the victim of a speeding driver.
You mentioned driving like a "grocery getter". Actually, sometimes driving easy is a smarter idea to avoid such an accident.
I feel for your friend and I hope he continues to be ok from the accident. I also hope this helps slow him down so he can be that great driver you mentioned.
It is poor judgements like this that raise all our insurance rates too. Never anything we like to pay extra for, others accidents caused by bad decisions.
I am not perfect by a long shot either. I made some real stupid driving decisions when I was young that I am not proud of. Thank God I never injured myself or anyone else or had a bad accident.
My point here is please be careful and don't make bad decisions when driving. Life is precious and we all need to drive "smart" !
Again, I hope your friend is ok.

How is your friend doing? Is he ok or did he end up with some pulled muscles or bruises from the accident?
Did the insurance total the car or can it be fixed?
Take care and have a good day!

He's doing fine. H didn't have any further injuries, expect for the regularly soreness. The car was totaled, he went a platinum f150
