Emphasis on speed:
* Like a bullet from a gun
* Like a rocket taking off
* Like a hawk diving for prey
* Like a whirlwind unleashed
Emphasis on force:
* Like a knife slicing through butter
* Like a raging river crashing through a dam
* Like a bull charging through a field
* Like a battering ram smashing through a wall
Emphasis on sound:
* Like a banshee screaming
* Like thunder rolling across the sky
* Like a jet breaking the sound barrier
* Like a freight train speeding through a tunnel
The best simile for you will depend on the context and the specific effect you are trying to create.
