no acctually, his approxamate speed is 700mph. if Du pay attention to the episode "thats what Friends are for" in the sonicx series, the military general even says so
The star, sterne posts in Sonic Unleashed clock Sonic running over the Speed of Light, so I checked it Von walking slowly past it and that was 65mph! I've settled the matter Von saying that Sonic runs at the Speed of Sound (700mph). As Super Sonic, he can exceed the Speed of Light.
