I would like to see that plane with a Merlin updated with modern technology like fuel injection.

The Germans captured a Spitfire V and fitted it with a fuel injected Daimler Benz 605.

With this engine it was easier to handle on the ground than the 109, had better visibility, more maneuverability and even climbed better too.
