The new Supra should’ve been a GTR or Corvette killer as it was in the past. I think a minimum of 500hp under 100k should’ve been the target and easily achievable (lightened LC500?). What they made is an improved BRZ/ 86. Now if The new Supra was called «*Celica*» instead........hmmmm.

It would have met the same dilemma as a 100k Z. The supra was 320hp when it came out. It's specs were in the same range as all the other jdm cars of the era.
Nissan 300zx turbo. 300 to 320 hp as well as the Mitsubishi 3000gt
The Mazda rx 7 turbo was 255hp but 500 to 800lbs lighter than the rest. The corvette z06 at the time was about 350hp and was considered the car to beat. The 300zx did it.
What made the supra amazing wasn't how fast it was out the box. But how easy it was to get 1000hp out of a 300hp engine... So I'm not sure why you think the Supra has to be a GTR killer out the box. It's priced right in line with a 370z Nismo, where it should be. What has to happen is the Z needs a competitive update. Put the Q60 engine in the Nismo.
