Nothing I drove went anywhere near 1000, but I was on Concorde a few times, most impressive memory was the hard undercarriage - seemed to transmit every pebble and crack on the runway. I have much more recently seen a ground speed of 745 mph in a 777 flying to Melbourne across the mainland. Doing the middle of the Indian Ocean and around the bottom I've seen 700 mph ground speed.
