No it's not. Just because Kakashi is a jonin, doesn't mean he automatically faster than a genin. Rank does not make the man all the time. Case in point Gaara who was only a genin was easily chunin at the very least. Sasuke, Neji, and Lee as well.

Part I has hardly displayed any high speed feats. Kakashi was faster than Sasuke, but he stilled needed to use both arms to face him in close combat. Of course this was without the Sharingan, but this only proves that Sasuke was no slouch. But, the fact remains that he copied Lee's speed to make Sasuke copy. I'm sure Kakashi could maintain the speed for a longer period of time than Sasuke, but that's about it.

Guy also didn't display any high speed feats at that time either, but since Lee is basically a carbon copy of him, it is safe to say that he is still fast himself. We have never seen Kakashi and Guy fight each other like they did as kids since, but it can be assumed that they were around the same speed in base. I refuse to believe that with speed gained with 5 gates or better, that Kakashi can match it. He couldn't even go pass the 1st gate, but all of sudden he can achieve speeds of 7 gates naturally? I don't know why people believe Kakashi is that fast. If Kakashi was as fast as Guy, Kakashi would have hit the jinchuriki, like Guy did. And that was on 6 gates. People take that one panel of them charging at the jinchuriki way too much.

What was incorrect was your calcs for how fast TSBs move. 5-15 times faster than SM? Where are you getting your data from?

Kakashi had to copy Lee's speed and fighting style, as Sasuke was not there himself.
