Through the year the distance varies, it is closest in January and farthest in early July, 91,400,000 and 94,400,000 miles, respectively. The average distance to the sun is 92,900,000 miles.
Travelling at 1000 miles/hr, we can reach sun in app
1) 92,900 hours.
2) 3870.8 days
3) 10.6 years
The fastest space crafts NASA-German Helios 1 and 2 solar probes can do it in about 24.5 days as they can travel at 158000 miles/hr
If you travel by a Bugatti Veyron at full speed, it would take 42.5 years. If you can drive it in space and if it doesn't break down that is :)

it would take 93,000 hrs at 1,000 mph divided by 24hrs in a day gives you 3,875 days or 10.6 yrs roughly...don't you have a calculator?
