For the five aircraft on the ramp....definately:
1. F8F
2. Hornet
3. Do335
4. XP-72
5. XP-56...better combo than the Shinden
Winner out of the props for me would most likely be the Hornet because of the power to weight ratio combined with its good manueverablity. However with 90 degree pylon turns at Cleveland then the XP-56 or Bearcat would probably make the turns better but the other three would sure be balls out on the straights. Maybe the Hornet win is still too hard to call.
Jets don't count for me because of the different speed ranges each one can represent....imagine a P-80 against a F-86...its not even fair.
