If the F2G-1 F2G-2 had seen service, which would be the closest axis rival in performance? Would there be anyone?

Actually the F2G was not much if any faster than the F4U 4 except had a slightly better rate of climb.

F4U4-Vmax 446 mph @ 26200 ft, rate of climb 3870 fpm, F2G1D-Vmax 435 mph, rate of climb 4400fpm, the F2G could touch 399 mph at sea level whereas the F4U4 could do 380 mph at sea level. Incidently, that 380 mph at sea level for the 4 was the fastest of all US ww2 production fighters in "normal" trim.

if were betting i would put my money on the corsair. It was credited with an 11 :1 ratio of kills to losses in action against Japanese aircraft.
