You don't need to assume any (wrong, in your case) numbers to know that
the TR _can not_ run faster than a 'conventional' train.

How fast _any_ land vehicle can run is just a question of how much
traction power you put into it. How fast it _makes sense_ to run it in
commercial service is another, comepletely different, question. Both
questions are basically independent of the guiding system of the
vehicle.

This has been discussed over and over hundreds of times over the past 
years.
