Most of the difference comes from body position, something that can be greatly enhanced on a hybrid too by simply lowering your handlebar and optionally getting an aerobar.
The bike itself has very little to do with it.
If you want to go fast: get lower and HTFU and pedal harder.
Getting better tires and improving cadence will also help.
I doubt a drop bar is going to work on a mtn bike like frame, I've dropped the angle of the stem by reversing it and that has helped slightly. Being on a single speed gear ratio of 35 x 17 when I try to catch up to a lot of road riders I tend to be spinning to fast, thought of getting it changed to a 16 cog maybe.
