There's a lot of scans in the article so copy/pasting would be tedious, but with the use of mathematics, Goku's speed can be calculated as being multiple times FTL, depending on his form. Base, he's a few times faster (Frieza Saga), but it grows exponentially in SSJ1-SSJ3...and 4, but I'm sure mentioning GT will start a flame war.
How did you manage to calculate that he moves faster than the speed of light?
Based on circumference of Namek, which is roughly the size of Earth, when Goku circled the planet in 1/2-1 second, for one. There are other calculations, such as how long it took Goku to go down Snake Way after his training with King Kai (625,000 miles over a course of 2 days means he was going Mach 17, if I remember correctly), but the article is long and the scans make it somewhat annoying to pick out some things to copy/paste, so sorry for not quoting directly.
Mach 17 is around 12,000 mph, which means on namek his max speed would be around 240 000 mph (based on his power level increase of 9000 to 180,000)
Then times 240 000 mph by 50 then you get 12 million miles per hour, and the speed of light is 670,616,629 miles per hour
Times SSJ1 by 2 then you get 24 million miles per hour. Times that by 4 and you get 96 million mph at SSJ3.
Slower than the speed of light.
Those are incomplete calculations, as they do not regard for Goku's power increase prior to his ascendance to the later SSJ levels.
Plus, SSJ2 isn't just SSJ1's power x2, nor is SSJ3 SSJ2's power x2.
