CF-105 Arrow ?
Interesting.... I responded to this earlier, but my response doesn't show up now. It did earlier. Hmmm.... Anyhow, a great answer pilotal; but not the one for which I'm looking. The Arrow was cancelled for political reasons. This aircraft flew, did everything asked of it and more, and was ready for production; but it simply got there at the wrong time. But, you have earned another clue. Thanks; Ernie P.
Question: What warbird do I describe?
Clues:
(1) It was probably the absolute best of its type ever built.
(2) Unfortunately, its day was over before it ever reached production.
(3) It was the epitome of “high speed, low drag”.
