Warp 7, because it folds the spacetime continuum!

According to the Star Trek episode writer's guide for The Original Series, warp factors were supposedly converted to multiples of light speed with the cubic function s(w) = w^3c.
So: warp 7 equals 343 times light speed.

Using Okuda scale warp 7 equals 656.13 times light speed

IIRC, it's the cube of the warp number, so
343*c > 1.5*c

They're both even! That was Easy!
