Obviously the Millennium Falcon was underrated, Han Solo clams "It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs." Han wouldn't lie would he?
The weird thing about that quote is a parsec is a measurement of distance. The Kessel Run is an 18pc route through space. This would seem to point out that Han could get it done faster, not because his ship is faster, but because he didn't take the actual Kessel route.
