Not even wrong.

As you have been told before, a Lorentz factor of gamma = 2 corresponds
to a relative speed of about c∕√(1 − 1∕2²) = 0.867 c.

Speed is *relative*; it is measured in a particular frame of reference, and 
for the *same* body is *different* in different frames of reference unless 
the frames in question are comoving.

Do your own homework.
