No mod speed challenges

n00b here. I went through a few pages of posts looking for speed challenges. I couldn’t seem to find anything current with only a stock KSP (no mods). I hit 1550m/s and wanted to compare.

They crop up periodically. Usually they need to have some kind of restrictions or they quickly become nonsensical. There is no limit if you are allowed to reach maximum speed outside of Kerbin's atmosphere. If it has to be done inside Kerbin's atmosphere then it gets interesting. If you restrict to airbreathing engines then you top out at 2100 m/s.

Thanks! I’m digging around in the forums to see what all is here.  Got a bunch of screenshots. But I’m on console, so no planes to upload.
