Actually, you are wrong because you are comparing apples and oranges. To say that something is the cheapest and the fastest is to assign it two definite qualities, i.e. that no car is at the same time faster and cheaper. You, however, merely assigned it one definite quality (cheaper) but one subjective quality (fast). This throws off the analysis because "fast" is a subjective term and is therefore up for interpretation. However, "fastest" and "cheapest" are quite clear in their meaning and therefore assign a definite claim of quality. Being "cheapest" and "fast" allows for interpretation and debate. The former does not.

Nice try though.
