Even hot hatches like the Focus RS and Type R make that sort of power from the factory these days.
When you put it that way a Focus RS weighs only 200lbs over the supra and has at least 15hp more. That's almost exactly the same power to weight ratio. It's very underwhelming to say the least.

Hopefully it will get a lot of aftermarket support like the twins and requires minimum effort to make decent power (e.g. turbo upgrade, down pipe, tune for +200hp or so). I for one know I won't be able to keep it stock no matter what and hopefully it's a better platform to build power on than the twins.
