Quicksilver = mutant
Captain Marvel = magic
The Speed Force (and maybe those who have retired to its heaven) chooses the people who are going to use it. Try and get your hands of the Savitar run, it's one of the best Speed Force explanations out there. On the other hand, I still have no idea how the Speed Force is now trapped inside of Bart. That makes no sense to me.
Speaking of Captain Marvel, there's a Flash issue where Flash and Captain Marvel team up and Flash asks him if he uses the speed force. Captain Marvel obviously says no, "I just have the speed of mercury." (please log in to view the image)
There's a great moment where Billy Batson says, "SHAZAM", Wally sees from his hotel that a bolt of lightning is going to hit billy, he suits up and runs a couple of blocks to "save" Billy from being hit by lightning. Now that's fast

i believe, in whatever marvel/dc crossover it was that involved flash and quicksilver crossing paths, it was said that when compared to the flash, pietro is basically just standing still. he's just nothin' in comparison.
Well in the DC vs Marvel storyline in the mid nineties, they fought and Flash stopped th fight to save some people from an accident. Quicksilver took advantage of this and beat up Flash. He was about to deliver the winning blow but hesitated and Flash took advantage and won.
In their second encounter was in the JLA/Avengers storyline. Flash was basically running circles around Pietro throughout the issue where the two team fought. In the last arena (The savage land) where the battles actually counted for something (Supposedly decided the fate of their universes.) Flash started to slow down because there was no Speed Force in the MU. Quicksilver took advantage of this to charge into Flash and send him flying.
