As fast as you want it to be, or as fast as science-fiction writers have already defined it to be. Warp speed is ... how to put it delicately ... a made-up, pretend, invented, fictitious concept, dreamed up out of thin air to solve the problem in stories of having the Enterprise crew get old and die and have their series canceled long before their ship got to where they wanted to go, with no basis in reality.
Gravity can warp and bend light.
Speed of light (in a vacuum) = 186,282 miles per second.186,282 * 60 (sec) * 60 (min) = 670,615,200The Speed of light in MPH is = 670,615,200 mph
All we know about warp drive is that a TV writer invented the idea, and it was used on a couple of popular sci-fi shows and in a few movies. Since no engineering data was ever given, you and I are free to describe warp drive in any way we feel like. Nobody can disagree with anything we say, because we're just makiing it up, exactly like the TV writer did. I'll say the answer to your question is: 10 seconds ... IF you start out with enough dilithium crystals. You can accept that answer if you like it, or change it to anything else that appeals to you. By the way, your question talks about travel to Alpha Centauri, but it doesn't say where the travel starts from. That would have some effect on the answer, I'll bet. Answer: Unfortunately, as logical as the answer from the first writer might be, it is incorrect. There is quite a bit of data specified on the warp drive, only a small portion of which is listed below: "According to the Star Trek episode writer's guide for The Original Series, warp factors are supposedly converted to multiples of c with the cubic function s(w) = w3c, where w is the warp factor, s(w) is the velocity, and c is the speed of light. Accordingly, "warp 1" is equivalent to the speed of light, "warp 2" is eight times the speed of light, "warp 3" is 27 times the speed of light, et cetera. However, this conflicts with the on-screen usage of the technology, as it would make the Enterprise's velocity insufficient for the voyages depicted in the television series. Michael Okuda's new warp scale.For Star Trek: The Next Generation and the subsequent series, Star Trek artist Michael Okuda devised a formula based on the original one but with important differences. For warp 1-9, . In the half-open interval from warp 9 to warp 10, the exponent of w increases toward infinity. Thus, in the Okuda scale, warp velocities approach warp 10 asymptotically. There is no exact formula for this interval because the quoted velocities are based on a hand-drawn curve; what can be said is that at velocities greater than warp 9, the form of the warp function changes because of an increase in the exponent of the warp factor w. Due to the resultant increase in the derivative, even a minor change in the warp factor corresponds to an exponentially larger change in velocity. Exact velocities were only given in the Voyager episode The 37's where Tom Paris describes Voyager's velocity at warp factor 9.9 (under the new warp table formula) as being about 4 billion miles per second, which would be over 21000 times the speed of light." So, if you pick the Earth as your starting point, and assume the simpler 8 * 8 * 8 = 512c for the warp drive function, then given that light takes about 4 years to reach Alpha Centauri, (it being 4 lightyears away), it will take you slightly under 3 days to get there. 4 years / 512 = 2.85 days!

bloody fast infininite
According to Wikipedia, the Enterprise (NCC-1701) had a maximum speed of warp 9.(Article: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(NCC-1701)")
The maximum speed of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D is Warp 9.65.
Warp drive is a faster than light propulsion system used in Star Trek. Warp 9 is 1516 times the speed of light ( about) This is 454485366 kilometers per second. At this speed it would take only .66 minutes to cross our entire solar system so bluckle your seat belt!
Theoretical, infinate, if you travel through warp space.
