The original series warp equation is generally accepted to be:
v = (W ^ 3) * c

This chart compares TOS-era Warp speeds with the speed of light:

Warp Factor Velocity
1 1 Speed of Light
2 8
3 27
4 64
5 125
6 216 Maximum stable speed of NCC-1701
7 343
8 512 Emergency speed of NCC-1701
9 729
10 1000
11 1331
12 1728
13 2197
14.1 2803 "That Which Survives" [TOS]
Now if you figure it like this it is:

v = c * Wf^3 * X

where Wf was the warp factor, and c was the speed of light. Included was a table of corrected warp speed for a given average value of X.

Wf Wf^3 X * Wf^3 Time per parsec

Warp speed in the Star Trek universe is whatever gets the ship in question from point A to point B before the crew members reach retirement age. Consider that in one episode of the original series, the Enterprise was near the edge of the galaxy, 20000+ light years from Earth. In the Star Trek V movie, the enterprise is hijacked and taken to the center of the galaxy, 30000 light years away. Assuming that in each case, the elapsed time is less than a year (it only seems like days in the show/movie) the enterprise would have had to have been traveling at speeds of 20-30000 times that of light. In Star Trek III, the Federation comes out with its first "trans-warp" drive, which can apparently be disabled (as Scottie showed) by removing a mere handful of parts. This drive was supposed to be able to outrun any "warp" drive, such as the one in the Enterprise. Star Trek is fiction, written by many different writers over a period of 40 years. Their prime concern was in making the production schedule and not in coming up with a consistent, logical, system of advanced physics with which to govern their make-believe universe. Without a modicum of "willingness to suspend disbelief" on the part of the followers and casual observers of the varied Star Trek stories, none of the stories could be accepted or appreciated. The stories and the messages they carried carried more weight than the ability of the writers and producers to come up with an Aristotelian set of spheres in which the observers could put each "fact" that was put forth in the shows..... So...when a Star Trek character says that a "freighter" is going at warp 1 or at sublight speed, you know it's traveling very "slowly" in comparison with combat and exploratory vessels. When a vessel travels in excess of "Warp 9", you know that it's going REALLY REALLY fast and can do a light year per second if that's what the story calls for.

Warp Factor x c Velocity (all figures approximate)
Warp 1 1 c 3.0x105 km/s
Warp 1.5 3.375 c 1.0x106 km/s
Warp 2 8 c 2.4x106 km/s
Warp 3 27 c 8.0x106 km/s
Warp 4 64 c 1.9x107 km/s
Warp 5 125 c 3.7x107 km/s
Warp 6 216 c 6.5x107 km/s
Warp 7 343 c 1.0x108 km/s
Warp 8 512 c 1.5x108 km/s
Warp 9 729 c 2.2x108 km/s
Warp 9.25 ~791 c 2.4x108 km/s
Warp 9.5 ~857 c 2.6x108 km/s
Warp 9.75 ~926 c 2.8x108 km/s
Warp 10 1,000 c 3.0x108 km/s

ANYTHING ABOVE THIS = STUPID FAST !

The writers first conceived Star Treks wesselll (lol) the Enterprise as a military ship and added the "warp speed" to add some pseudo realism.
The military uses, among others, the X number "click". It is a distance between point A and point B based on the often changed formula of the day. When unknown to the enemy you can broadcast over the airwaves cyphered troop movement orders and the enemy must first break the code to figure out which unit is moving where.
Captain Kirk and his crew knew the formula...their enemies did not.

Warp speed and various factors of 2, 3, or more are explained as faster than light propulsion and multiples of such. Go to Wikipedia for a more thorough explanation. The speeds mentioned are show as kilometers per sec.

hmmm...warp speed? if u mean mach speed, then that's the speed of sound. consecutive machs like 2, 3, etc. would be multiples of the speed of sound. but warp, hmmm. must be one of those science fictional terms...gotta love star trek tho!
