This baby couldn't even pass warp 1. How is this a warp drive exactly?
I'd say impulse at most :)
The Model T couldn't go much faster than 40 Mph, but we call that an engine, no?
near relativistic speeds means 'almost as fast as the speed of light'. The point of a warp drive is that it allows a craft to go faster than the speed of light.
I think a better analogy would be a propellor aircraft compared to a jet aircraft. To be honest I don't know much about aircraft and even less about warp drives. Basically I have no idea how that analogy works :)
