Well, it's really more of an air resistance to weight ratio thingy apparently (looked it up).
So if the greater bulk of the 110 compared to it's surface area resistance (drag? dunno) is a larger divide than that of the Spitfire, then it'll go faster in a dive, I guess.
Not my area I suppose. Air physics and such is very interesting stuff.
