And then they both pull and hold a hard turn. Which one reaches stall first?

The stall speed multiplies by the square root of G's pulled resulting in a greater difference between the planes -- from high speed start it will be the one that runs out of smash first.

However the claim that a 190 should out-turn a Spit at low speed fails right there as you would have to defy physics or have a very poor Spit pilot in the Spit and a very good 190 pilot in the 190 to do so and then we are no longer comparing just the planes.
Take away knowing who is flying which plane (and most other details) and we have a war story to misuse and come up with ignorance-based 'data'.

The real cool stuff happens at higher speeds where turn fighters can't turn so hard without losing speed. The best energy fighting tactics use that whether online or IRL, check with Robert Shaw if you think different. At speed the 190A is booja but then 'at speed' in a 190A is 'high speed' in a Spit V.
