I would say.. about 20% slower than she would need to be to escape Pinkie

Somehow Pinkie seems to be even faster than Rainbow Dash at times. Sure, she may not be able to do a sonic rainboom, but she's either incredibly fast or the only earth pony who can teleport.

In the light of this, it was particularly interesting to see Pinkie as Fili-Second, the fastest of the power ponies. You'd think Dash would be the obvious choice for that part...

Good to see that my question wasn't that idiotic. I really thought only two of you will answer.

And I'm sorry but to me she still looks like she's flying at 400-450 km/h, far from all the sonic barrier.

If Mach 1 is about 343+ m/s, then my original assumption that she can easily fly at 200 m/s anywhere from 100 meters in height, maybe even lower, to the several kilometers in height is correct. Accelerating beyond Mach 1 is not advisable, unless you do want to literally burn alive from atmospheric friction.

The speed of light? 'm not sure, but I know it's fast enough to win against Sonic the Hedgehog!

She can fly to break the magical barrier and produce a rainbow thing.

I would say Daring Do would easily match her speed, but never really cared to try.

 

Sonic can run faster, but Rainbow Dash can fly faster  because wings and rainbows and stuff.

Whatever the equivalent speed for a plane to create a sonic boom is.

Probably as fast as a fighter jet
