This ability allows the user's overall speed to rival the fastest vehicles at low levels, while advanced levels allow the user to break the sound barrier and moving at supersonic speeds. The user's speed usually causes them to appear as vibrating blurs or streaks of motion. Users are fast...
Down on the tracks with the speedy Maglev trains reaching 267mph and the mechanics know all about the power needed in MotoGP and the Suzuki Hayabusa named after the fastest bird on Earth. It's all here alongside cars that break the sound barrier and monster racing trucks. The mechanics ...
