Irrelevant, because that's not what you said. You said that the P-47 was the only aircraft that was faster than the 109, and that it was significantly faster than the P-51 and P-38, which so far as I can tell isn't true. Acceleration has nothing to do with speed aside from how fast you get to said speed.
Firstly I stated the late model K's were faster.
If you want to go and start moving goal posts by pulling numbers for the G-6, or start comparing it to the rarer 150 octane equipped mustangs, that be your own business. But it makes for a piss poor argument about the 109 being obsolete.
Second, I merely said it was faster, not significantly. And after mentioning the Spit XIV for RoC I believe the 14 was marginally faster as well, around 447 vs 445 for the 109 IIRC.
And third, the rest is relevant since you said I was going based on speed alone. Speed, climb, and acceleration all trump maneuverability in a fight. Or you can go ask the Japanese pilots how their zeros did against late F6F's and F4U's
