I don't trust random people translating it, there is going to be different interpretations of what was said.
This is what the official Viz translation seems to say:
Shee: Lord Raikage's nerve transmissions and his reaction speed are on par with that of Konoha's yellow flash.....Impressive these folks are keeping up as well as they are. But Lord Raikage has manipulated raiton chakra to augment his reflexes! Not even the sharingan will be able to keep up with him.
So from this, it is clear that Raikage in base has the same reflexes and reaction speed as Minato in his base. But once Raikage activated the Lightning Shroud, his reflexes become greater than Minato's. Minato's base speed (or speed with Shunshin) wasn't mentioned so we don't actually know how fast it was in correlation to the Raikage, we just know it was 'fast'.
ShounenSuki isn't really random. If you see any databook translations online, they're most likely his. The difference between he and scanlators is that, as I said, one has a schedule and is thus prone to mistakes and such whereas the other has time to make sure the translation is proper. He tends to do literal translations initially so you know exactly what was said.
I'm still awaiting his response, but considering in Minato's article it says that C compared A's speed in his Raiton armor to Minato's not his base speed, I have a feeling that this is something that was moved around mistakenly in the translation.
