I believe the quote said it beat the M2. Ever watch drag racing? A car can win (or beat another car) without being faster in the quarter mile. I think they would have to repeat that win with multiple drivers over multiple tracks to finally be able to claim the car was a faster car, which wasn't what they were trying to claim or present.

The accolade is noteworthy because the Supra is quoted as being less powerful and costs less.
