hehe, welcome to MFG Buutenks. Good to see you here as well.

And let me remind you all, the scan clearly shows Gotenks circling earth in its outer orbit, the space.
Saiyans share human traits of the respiaratory system, that would mean Gotneks being any longer than a second or two would've frozen to death.
(This is explain nicely in the movie Mission To Mars)
And some of Gotenks orbit's have any diameter to fit in two earth's completely.
That is a faster than light speed feat.

Though, Chibi got what I wanted to say. Fights were being done over in a second during the 21-22nd Budokai's. If that's the speed Kid Goku was fighting in, just imagine how fast end DBZ character would be fighting at.
In short, their fighting/reflex speeds in way, way faster than what they travel at.
Their flying speed is not dependant on the amount of power/Ki.
(For example, Piccolo had a lower powerlevel than Goku, yet he said Goku was no match for him in flying speed when they were going after Raditz)

There's not much evidence in the manga, but there is plenty evidence in the anime which would support them being light speed.

During the training with Kami, Kid Goku had managed to dodge several lightning. And lightnings travel at 1/3-1/4 the Speed Of Light. In the manga, Mr.Popo says Goku would have to be faster than lightning and than moves really fast. Also this only exists in the anime, but King Kai wasn't able to sense Freeza and ssj Goku go all out on each other, when he could sense FTL spacepods of Nappa and Vegeta.
So at least in the anime/non-canon world it can actually be established they do move FTL (there are tons more evidence of Ki Blasts being faster t han light also). Sadly there isn't much evidence to side this in the canon manga.
