Because that webpage is wrong.

EDIT: Further evidence the page is wrong: They can't even do basic math:

"Internal fuel  (273 gal) plus two 150-gal drop tanks = standard maximum fuel (537 gal)."

273 + (150 x 2) = 573

425mph is 370kts.  Sounds about right.

funny, 425mph is about the top speed at altitude(20,000ft). Obvious typo. 537gal, 573gal? Hmm...
