You must be looking at the cars without all upgrades. With all upgrades, the Asterion is substantially better than the Spada. Everyone who places in group A has all fully upgraded cars.

Asterion Vs. Spada Codatronca TS

1.56 grip compared to 1.33

2.29 acceleration compared to 2.63

25.6 brakes compared to 26.2

383 kph top speed compared to 375 kph

As a side note: In almost all case, grip and acceleration will trump top speed. Brakes can make a huge difference to, as you are on the gas more than the other car. So better brakes, grip and accel are WAY more important than top speed.

BUT; If a car has better top speed AND acceleration, that can make up for a small difference in grip and brakes. Take LeMans for example. The Porsche 919 has better grip and brakes, but the Toyota TS040 has better top speed and acceleration, so Toyota wins. Also, LeMans has HUGE straight. On Brands Hatch, Suzuka, Laguna Seca type tracks, I suspect the Porsche would win because brakes and grip play a greater role there.
