Meh, that's been done I reckon... First Harry got the good broom, then Draco a better one, then harry a better one... It's going to get a bit boring soon...
Maybe it has something to do with the speed of the firebolt, as we really haven't been told stuff like how fast etc the brooms go before... Maybe Harry needs to go somewhere tha can only be entered/seen as a certain speed...
I was thinking along the lines of the whole breaking hte sound barrier thing, but that's app 350m/s on a average temp day, and the book said the firebolt does 150miles (it didnt' mention a top speed) but that's only about 67m/s... very far off!

it was worth a try though???
