Depends on whether he's in atmosphere or not. V&V flight rules say that if you can make at least Mach 1 in atmosphere, then when you get out of the atmosphere you can "shift gears" and the Mach number becomes a multiplier of c instead. So, with "I'm a Pioneer", he goes Mach 6 in atmosphere, and 6c in space. As Doug notes, though, 6c for 3 or 4 minutes isn't very useful.
As far as Doug's absolute top speed, well, I've been using the Mach 6 from "I'm a Pioneer" as the top atmospheric speed for him regardless of the song, to keep my mental bookkeeping simple.
