Highest Supercruise Speed

Heck no. I think I hit a bit over 700 once.
I believe the highest supercruise speed possible is around 2000c, though I have only achieved 1100 personally

Slingshot my old Db Explorer up to 820-something, was fun times experimenting with gravity.
I have flown for HOURS at supercruise to see what the top speed is. Seems to stop at exactly 2001c (perhaps a reference to Arthur C. Clarke's space oddessy).
Incidentally, 2001c is equivalent to Warp 9.6 in Star Trek which is the often exceeded "maximum speed" of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701D from "Star Trek: The Next Generation". So even at Supercruise speed we are moving insanely fast in Elite Dangerous.

Still, that's roughly 13 years to reach Sag A from Sol...

So the 2001 is an urban myth?
Fly to Alpha Centauri and head to Hutton Orbital. You'll have plenty of time to find out how fast you can supercruise.
Nor I. And to be truthful, I probably won't take a third trip out to the Hutton Orbital. In a hurry.

Been there. Done that. It did take about 1hour! Never going back. Thanks for the reminder.The maximum super cruise speed achieved I believe was 2500c
This was on the way to Hutton Orbital in Alpha Centauri.
P.S. Yes it IS supposed to be 0.22Ly away from the main star, it was the same in the prequels
Ya fastest I have gone in SC was around the 2k mark. When I was getting started I was trying to find a way to a system that my sidy just simply couldn't get to. I didn't have enough fuel to jump to a system so i was like fine. I will SC to the closest one. First. It didn't work. Ran out of fuel and blew up anyways. 2nd. Now I know it wouldn't have worked anyways.
My fastest speed was just over 1,000c
