The fastest model rocket I could find for sale-- topping out at 890 mph! It was launched with a G77R/L engine, held together with clay epoxy to prevent disintegration from the immense g-forces, and flew to over 4,500ft. Too bad we lost it in a neighboring forest!
@Omnigeek6 Hold everything!
wildman Blackhawk 29 and Blackhawk 24 ;) The aspire is cool, but I lost a 29/40-120 in one. Definitely use tracking for such high flights...or single use motors

@Lighttheskyup HOLY SHIT!
They actually make a Mongoose 150? I checked the website, and there's even a Mongoose 165!
But yeah, the Aspire is about the fastest mid-power rocket you can buy, but of course not the fastest you can build.

@Omnigeek6 I know. The aspire is very impressive. I was just pointing out it isn't the fastest you can buy. I think the mongoose 150 would suffice as well.
You forgot to mention that,besides the L3 cert, you need to have a huge wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket ;)

@Lighttheskyup
The mongoose 98 is great if you have a level 3 high-power certification. On the other hand, the Apogee Aspire is the only kit I know of which can be flown supersonic without any certification or permit (I assume this is what OP meant). Let me know if there are any others :-)

It's not the fastest, but by far the best deal.
However, the performance rocketry mongoose 98 goes over mach 2
