Ah, so you mean running speed. Sure, Thor or anyone else in his strength class can run someting close to 500mph, it doesn't mean they have the reflexes to guide them while they run. Rhino has superhuman running speed, but no one has ever accused him of having fast reflexes.
His reflexes are also superior to Spider-Man's, like I said before he has lightning quick reflexes.
BTW, He runs much faster than 500 mph 😉

He's fast as lighting?
No, it's more like this "He's as fast as the very lightning he commands". Considering this has been stated on numerous occasions, and the characters who have stated as much they themselves have superspeed, I think it's safe to assume that their opinion is accurate.

The speed of the lightning bolt itself is the speed of the electric current through the air, which is of the same order as light speed, but below it. The current has to be below light speed because the charge carriers are massive. The main stroke travels at about 0.1 c (30 million meters/second or 100 million feet/second) and the peak current lasts for tens of microseconds or so. After the peak, the current typically decays over tens or hundreds of microseconds.
(c=The speed of light in a vacuum)
Lightning isn't light, and it doesn't travel at 186,000 mps.

In other words: hyperbole. 🙄
Look, Thor has superspeed. He just rarely uses it because it's not a favoured part of his arsenal; he likes to brawl and beat someone down, all the while telling them they should surrender. 😄 If someone has scans of him at high running speed, let's see them because I'm not sure how fast he can go. I haven't seen that incident with Thialfi, running through New York.

We all know Thor has super speed. It's the degree of it that is being questioned.

All is good when Supes states lightning to him is slow, but Thor states he's as quick as the very lightning itself, it's hyperbole. 🙄
There's a huge difference between the two. Superman saw lightning and was zipping around the bolts like they were nothing. He was actually DOING the act. Therefore, it's not hyperbole. Not when the character has actually shown the ability.
On the other hand, you only have other people's say so on how Thor is as "swift as the lightning he commands."

It's actually the same thing....
Thor blinds Hela with his speed, she's baffled by how fast he is. Thor then states "I'm as fast as the very lightning itself".
Superman doges some lightning bolts, Superman then states "Lightning bolts are slow".
Explain to me the difference

Because one is just a statement with no validity or legitimacy. If he actually somehow proved that he was, then I'd believe you. But just rushing by someone and then claiming he's as fast as lightning? Nah, sorry, that doesn't cut it for me. He could've flown by her at 1/4 of lightning speed, and just used that as a point of reference because he made her look incredibly slow with his speed. It wasn't meant to be a statement of accuracy or literalness, it was just saying that he's a fast SOB.
Superman actually SHOWED that lightning looks slow to him. It's FACT.
There's your difference.

However that doesn't look to good to me, so I'll go look in the stack and find something else.

I'm sorry, but what the hell is this supposed to prove? 😛
