More like 330.... I think there was a variant that was capable of 370 - 400. They had a stall speed of around 70 though and that made them incredibly maneuverable and their light weight gave them a very good rate of climb. But they were no match for the Lightning or Corsair
Sorry, WW2 aviation geek here.

370 - 400.Don't confuse airspeed measured in knots vs mph. 330knots is about 380mph. Most aircraft airspeed is measured in knots.
