If we were to take a cylindrical rod and shoot it at the Earth with enough energy to completely pass through its diameter and out the other side, what would happen?

Given a cylindrical rod of metal, etc, roughly the size of the Burj Dubai (approx. 830m tall) and apply enough kinetic energy to it such that it can penetrate the Earth completely through its diameter from one side and exit out the other, (assume the rod is  not destroyed and exits the planet intact) what would the resulting impact do to the planet?   

Thanks everyone for your responses! Very insightful and definitely thought provoking.

You couldn't really impart enough kinetic energy onto something like that and have it penetrate the Earth.  If you gave an object that amount energy you're referring to it would probably in essence become a fusion bomb as soon as in impacting the earth if not the atoms in the atmosphere beforehand.
