Um, no.
The Spit I can out turn the A6M at higher speeds, but the only "WWII" fighter that will out turn the A6M2 in a sustained turn is the Japanese Army's Ki-43-I, and it is even lighter built than the A6M with no cannon and shorter range.
The pre-war Ki-27 and A5M will also out turn it, but they are fixed gear monoplanes.
