Probably the ships used by the Spacing Guild in Dune. The navigators were able to "fold" space which had the effect of instantaneous transportation across the galaxy - even faster than the hyperspace travel in Star Wars which took some amount of time.

Except that that's the exact same technique used in Star Trek's warp drive (the clue's kinda in the name!)

I really don't think you've thought this through! For any ship travelling faster than light the notion of fastest is entirely meaningless because of relativity. In fact, arriving before you left is the only possibility with faster than light travel, and the faster you go, the earlier you arrive. So, although you get to the place you want to go in seconds (from the crew's point of view) you then have to wait an age to catch up to when you wanted to be there. It is a genuine example of more haste, less speed.

I recall reading a short sci-fi story some time ago that had FTL transportation, but not FTL communication. The main kicker of that being that you could arrive at a distant planet, but everyone there would ignore you until light from your originating location was able to catch up. It was a silly premise, but it was intriguing as well.

The DeLorean can travel in the time (and I suppose space).

The fastest must surely be the Heart of Gold in Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy since, with the help of its improbability drive (which is powered by a cup of tea in the Brownian motion producer) it could pass through every point in every universe simultaneously.

This is very poor code. What if an infinitevery large supply of caffeinated drinks exists, but me.Awake never returns true?
You should at the very least throw a BustedBladderException 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yeah, there is room for further enhancements, but I am too lazy to do so right now (along with having some rather unpredictable internet access)

possible null reference exception, line 1.

Interesting.
-- Your mention of the 23 enigma made me think of "23 skidoo" (which is related to what is said to be the most-used phrase in movies).
-- I realised that I had no idea of the origins of the phrase.
-- I googled it.
-- I foolishly opened a wikipedia page.
-- The wikipedia page said this of the phrase's origin:
"Although there are a number of stories suggesting the possible origin of the phrase, none has been universally accepted.[citation needed]"
-- I sighed with deep despair at the utter stupidity of the person who added a "[citation needed]" to a statement saying that not everyone agrees on something.
-- I concluded, for the thousandth time, that the best thing to do, when on a wikipedia page, is leave.
-- I 23-skidooed.
Cyclic coincidences like that don't just happen! There must be a reason for it!
One of the 50 gods that unilaterally created the world must be trying to say something to me!
... And it appears that what he is saying is **** off!
(I'm so glad I found religion. It's made me so much smarter than everyone else)
