Look, I love Spike, but the shit he put the Swordfish II through makes me want to avoid getting in the passengers seat of anything he flies.
He loves that thing, he'll get her patched up, but I'm gonna worry about my own potential survival.

As a person, it's hard to beat Wash. That said, only Han Solo can turn a unit of distance (parsec) into a unit of time, so the answer to the OP question seems obvious.
The Kessel run is a smuggler's route that involves navigating around black holes iirc, the brag is about skill and speed (flying closer to and escaping from the gravity wells) to make a shorter run.
Not nearly into the SW lore enough nowadays to respond adequately to that. I'm old enough to have seen the original release in theaters, and I never heard that justification back in the decade or two that followed. As such, it honestly sounds like a retrofitted justification someone was finally able to come up with. And even that still sounds sus because of the time-dilating effects such celestial bodies would cause (although this is sci-fi, so I'm sure there can be a retrofitted explanation of how to get away with that, too).
