No.
Couple of months ago i compared the www.spitperformance.org graphs with the game speeds (here). The graphs show the 6lbs boost (with 87 oct. fuel) speed of Spitfire. The 109 would be faster, but not that much – if we look at the proportions of course, because now the 109 is slower than it should).
