Faster than anyone else! :)

Magnetic levitation transport, or maglev, is a form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles via electromagnetic force. This method can be faster and more comfortable than wheeled mass transit systems. Maglevs could potentially reach velocities comparable to turboprop and jet aircraft (500 to 580 km/h). Since much of a Maglev's propulsion system is in the track rather than the vehicle, Maglev trains are lighter and can ascend steeper slopes than conventional trains. They can be supported on lightweight elevated tracks. Maglevs have operated commercially since 1984. However, scientific and economic limitations have hindered the proliferation of the technology.\n\nMaglev technology has minimal overlap with wheeled train technology and is not compatible with conventional railroad tracks. Because they cannot share existing infrastructure, maglevs must be designed as complete transportation systems. The term "maglev" refers not only to the vehicles, but to the vehicle/guideway interaction; each being a unique design element specifically tailored to the other to create and precisely control magnetic levitation and propulsion.\n\nThe world's first commercial application of a high-speed maglev line is the IOS (initial operating segment) demonstration line in Shanghai that transports people 30 km (18.6 miles) to the airport in just 7 minutes 20 seconds (top speed of 431 km/h or 268 mph, average speed 250 km/h or 150 mph). Other maglev projects worldwide are being studied for feasibility.

By train it will take about 7-8 days. For example, from Kaliningrad to Moscow - one day and from Moscow to Vladivostok - 6 days.

LIFE is the fastest roller coaster I have ever been on, how about you?

Regardless of the way of movement, peregrine falcon is the fastest. If you are trying to ask the fastest by way of running then cheetah is the fastest.\n\n>>The fastest animal/ bird is called peregrine falcon which can fly at the speed of 100-200 miles per hour. \n>>Fastest marine animal is blue whale which swims 30 miles per hour).\n>>Fastest land animal is cheetah which can run 70 miles per hour. \n>>Fastest fish is sailfish which can swim 68 miles per hour. \n>>Fastest insect is dragonfly which can fly 36 miles per hour.♥

yes, check out the bugatti veyron (world's fastest car- does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds) and the dodge tomahawk (bike that has a dodge viper engine). I don't know if they can go that fast, but pretty close for land vehicles.

air/vacuum pressure required to make a train filled with people travel at 1200 mph would be ridiculous.  your best bet, I'd say, is probably magnetic field.  you also have to make sure the system is pretty much foolproof, too - because a malfunction at 1200 mph = hundreds / thousands dead and a front-page headliner.

The fastest anaiml in North America is the same as the fastest animal in the  world: the peregrine falcon.\n\nPeregrines are found on every continent except Antarctica. Peregrines are not only the fastest craetures in the air, they are the fastest in the world. They can fly horizontally at speeds up to 55mph but when flying downward can top 270mph.\n\n_______________\n\n>>>>>>A pronghorn could beat the best human runner in a >>>>>>marathon.\n\nI calls bulls**t. Fast though they may be over short distances pronghorns they have almost no endurance.

(m)\n\nAs of June 2000, the fastest running human is Michael Johnson, the American track and field star who on August 1, 1996 set the world record of running 200 meters in 19.32 seconds. Johnson, by doing this, won an Olympic title in Atlanta, Georgia and broke the longest standing field record of the time; Pietro Mennea's 1979 record of 19.72 seconds. Johnson's record can be calculated to equal 10.35 m/s or 37.267 km/h. Johnson's events also include the 400 meter run which he ran in 43.18 seconds ranking him number one in the world in 1999. This broke the 11-year old record of American Butch Reynolds (43.29s). In this category, Johnson was undefeated throughout his career with forty four consecutive victories. An interesting fact to know is that in the animal kingdom Michael Johnson would be considered relatively slow; the cheetah, one of the world's fastest land animals, can sustain a top speed of about 30 m/s or 100 km/h -- three times the speed Michael Johnson can achieve.

I would say the fastest route would be to go between India and Sri Lanka

i don't know cos I'm in Australia but fastest way to find out is get off the train at Banbury & go for a look

The Mclaren F1 is still the fastest production car in the world, if only by default. \n\nThe others such as the Koenigsegg and the Bugatti have not allowed their cars to actually be tested for their claimed top speeds. So the fastest PROVEN production car ever remains the Mclaren at 241MPH .\n\nOOPS>>>>I stand corrected after digging around more on the internet I found that;\n\nIn 2005 the Bugatti Veyron super sports car achieved a top speed of just over 400 km/h (248.6 miles/h) on the high speed section of the Volksvagen proving grounds at Ehra - Lessien. Thus, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 becomes the fastest production car in the world.
