Larry, Don't get discouraged. All is not that bad. First, with a properly running Spitfire you should be able to stay out of everyone's way, but you will never be able to take on a challenge offered up by one of the modern high rev tuners. But then, why would you want to? Your car will always LOOK much better than any of the modern boxes being offered up!
That said, there are several things you can do top enhance the performance of your Spit (including replacing the engine and gearbox with one of many modern high performance products. If you don't want to do that, there is always the other options you can pursue, including what I am currently working on; electronic fuel injection. I am about half way through this upgrade and more than half way finished funding it. I figure that I will be out over 3 grand for the system but it should prove to be much more fuel efficient, more emissions efficient and infinitely more reliable than the normally carbureted engine. I figure it will offer up an additional 20 HP as well. At you! But as with anything, these are only hypothetical. Your results may vary! :) Hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully, it is NOT a train coming directly at you.

I don't want to be a crybaby, but what will I have when I complete my project. I figured a complete dismantle and rebuild would result in a brand new Spitfire. If someone had a brand new Spitfire for sale, I would like to drive it. I think I have spent enough to have bought a brand new Spitfire, but I have a pile of parts and two rusted out frames. If I get this Spitfire running before I die of old age, will I be able to merge onto I 240 From I 40 without getting squashed? Will I be able to outrun anyone that says nice car wanta race? I don't want a historical monument. I want a sharp looking car that runs as well as it looks. I am more discouraged today than I have ever been.
