In addition to what others have pointed out....

Most sources I've seen estimate the exact thrust of the F119 to be
close to 39,000lb.

M61A2 (lighter-weight composite barrels), not A1.

The F-22 will be able to carry the 250lb Small Diameter Bomb. Also,
reportedly a cruise missile is under development specifically for the
F-22 that can be carried internally in place of a few AMRAAMs.

The Typhoon and the Raptor both use the same wide angle HUD, and both
aircraft feature HMDs. And doesn't the F-22 use components of the
Typhoon's DASS?

To add to the speed debate...
http://www.f22-raptor.com/data.html
lists a top speed of 1.8M, and Bill Sweetman states in his F-22 book
that the heating of the aircraft's skin is what limits its top speed.
FWIW.
