Ah yeah. Dang. Well there probably a good technical reason behind it. I'm no starship engineer in the Star Wars universe.

The hamburger was originally a cargo ship, the one we see is special in that it has a bunch of very expensive, very powerful engines added.

It's no wonder that a street racer can outpace army jeeps. Also, they couldn't outpace TIE fighters in Ep.IV, which are known for being very fast for a coffee table.
