The F-16D was carrying 2 external fuel tanks and still outmaneuvered the F-35 in clean configuration handily.
They didn't even get into that the F-35 is only LO to certain radar frequencies in certain directions when in clean configuration and has a brutal IR signature.
The design was compromised from day one by the insistence for maximum commonality with the Marine Corps VSTOL model.
