Assuming the captain of the Scimitar isn't an overconfident/grandstanding young man haha. Because we all know it was game over for the enterprise if Shinzon hadn't of wasted any time and just finished the enterprise quickly.
Let's just say that both ships operate with as much tactical efficiency as possible. Also the thalaron beam will have to be ruled out as well, because that's obviously an "I win" button even against the Death Star haha.
It took a huge fleet of federation ships to take down that cube in FC, and even then they still needed the inside information provided by Picard to get the job done. I imagine it would take a similar amount of ships to destroy the Scimitar if it was operating a lot more effectively than when Shinzon commanded it. Especially considering it has such advanced cloaking technology. It'd take a while for the federation fleet to even land a hit. They'd have to bring it fully or partially out of cloak to then start the actual fight, and by that time quite a few of their ships would of been killed off probably.
Who do you guys think would win? Borg cube has a more brute offensive style to is and seems to have a sort of methodical wearing down of the enemy ship until it destroys them. The scimitar on the other hand is extremely evasive and has (although not fully utilised in nemesis) an enormous possible damage output. 52 disruptor banks, 27 photon torpedo bays as Mr Worf says. It's weapons array could take out multiple ships in an instant. Also it's dual shielding. Now I don't imagine it's hull or shielding to be as powerful as a Borg cube's is, even with its secondary shields. I just don't imagine seeing it take the beating the cube did in FC. So that's where it's evasiveness and damage output balance out that part of the fight.
I was actually thinking for a while that the Scimitar would win. Yet then I thought that even it's damage output would probably not be enough verses the cube considering that the damage output of the federation fleet was probably equal or greater than what the Scimitar could apply and yet the fleet still basically lost that fight if not for Picard. So I think once the cube located the Scimitar and exposed it from it's cloak. It would then be able to strip it of its shields and destroy it before the Scimitar could inflict enough damage to the cube.
I suppose it all comes down to if the cube can locate the Scimitar through it's cloak in time before the damage gets too great for the cube to handle. Yet even with that said, it seems the FC cube was in little trouble for almost that entire fight with the federation fleet.
