Just test-flew the Ta152C myself at 6000m and achieved a topspeed of somewhere between 690-700km/h at 100% fuel, ammunition. Turbulences was switched off and test was flown on Crimea map at normal weather, 12:00
So thats clearly faster than the FW190A9 which only hits around 670km/h at the same altitude! Anyway the Ta152 in all versions is a high altitude fighter and should be flown like that. Also keep in mind that the Ta152C was proposed as an escort fighter and therefore carries an enormous fuel load for a Luftwaffe single engined fighter. In a typical online mission you never need more than 50% fuel, I often even stay at only 25%!
