For a prop plane it is the best design. There are legitimate claims about prop efficiency, but the bottom line is the total package is superior. All the fastest prop planes are push pull.
The Dornier
- Maximum speed: 763 km/h (474 mph, 412 kn) at 6,500 m (21,300 ft)
- P-51(708 km/h, 383 kn)

There can be some discussion about modern modified P 51 but if the same resources were applied to a push pull aircraft it would win.
