Probably easiest to go here and look up the plane you want to know about:
http://www.spitfireperformance.co.uk/
Be sure to look for the exact version, a Spitfire MkIA is completely different to a MkIX for instance. Combat reports are also interesting to read as they compare to the nearest competitor. Reading the Tempest V trials report against a P51B shows exactly why your question is so hard to answer.

What your asking is hard to quantify easily as an early war plane, even a good one is massivly eclipsed by later war planes or top speed, top turning circle, roll rates, ROC etc are all subject to altitude or speed.
