I'll wait until it's proven, then I'll go find a g suit.

Speed doesn't hurt. Acceleration does. As long as it's made to accelerate reasonably slowly to reach that speed, you'll be fine.

That's gonna be a while. Current speed record from what I see for passenger trains is around 350 miles per hour. The quick math I did for getting from NYC to Miami in 45 minutes needed like 1,700mph. From what I'm seeing even the experimental stuff right now doesn't get above 400mph.
