Well not exactly. The designs of the two types of fighters were completely different. The TIE fighters were designed purely as support vessels that were deployed, and then recalled, from their star destroyers. The Rebel fighters were designed to be hit and run style fighters that would hyper into an area, destroy a supply convoy, and hyper out again before the empire knew what hit them, completely devoid of support (i.e. frigates, cruisers, etc.)

of course.
But all this is moot, because the Slave One is the coolest ship design, ever. And is completely badass, and would take the Enterprise out with a seismic charge (that boings in the key of A)

The only reason the rebels took out that Super Star Destroyer is because of the emperor's arrogance to not use the thing tactically. He told the captain to sit there and do nothing. In fact, that's probably the reason the empire was defeated in the first place, stupid moves. Such as believing the Death Star was invincible, and knowing of it's weakness, and using only a handful of TIE fighters to defend it. I have no doubt the Star Destroyer could easily destroy the Enterprise.
