Actually, I remember running across a debate somewhere when Enterprise first came out about that. From what I remember, I think they said that this was theoretically warp 5 on the TNG scale...but someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.
And yeah, supposedly the subspace coils on the impulse drives gets rid of the time dilation effects of travelling at impulse (the one good thing about being in a Trek RPG as an engineer is that you learn the stuff backwards and forwards, lol).
