E=mc2, or m=c2/E. The speed of light is a constant, so as more energy is applied, the mass increase is directly proportional.

Because time goes by according to mass and at a fixed rate. the faster you go, the more time slows down. The limit is the speed of light. So the extra speed is converted into mass. More mass means more "time", so in sense you're going faster than before.

Well in your frame of reference it doesn't - its stays exactly the same. Its the mass of everything else in the universe that increases.

It's one of the effects of relativistic velocity. Take a course on Special Relativity and it will all make sense.
