Trust me, the P-51 could eat any WWII fighter for breakfast (maybe except for the Me-262 and other jet powered aircraft). But if you really want to know, here are the facts:
Mustang had between 3000 and 4000 lbs. more weight, and so was able to outdive either German plane.
The tightness of its turns was much better than the Me-109 and slightly better than the FW-190.
The P-51B had a range at 1080 miles and could be extended to 2600 miles when extra drop-tanks were attached to the wings. This made its range far more than any Allied or German fighter’s.
The Mustang was 50 mph faster than the Germans up to 28,000 ft., beyond which it was much faster than the FW-190 and still substantially faster than the Me-109.
The special characteristics of the P-51’s laminar-flow wing and flaps made it possible to safely exceed the top dive speed and maneuver better than any other aircraft of the time.
I think that the only area the FW-190 could’ve bested the P-51 on was armament.
