On the luxury side, is this supposed to be a Toyota or a Lexus? Because the difference can be upwards of 100lbs or more depending.

You're right, base model C7 is the lower weight. What does the supercharger and V8 have to do with anything? That setup is lighter than the GTR's DOHC twin turbo setup, which would be similar in weight to the Supras proposed DOHC twin turbo (probably.)
I would expect a car of this caliber to come equipped with leather seats, premium stereo, and some nice amenities.... so yeah, an upscale Toyota.
LT4 = 529 pounds
VR38DETT = 608 pounds
So says the internet, lol. More turbos and more cams = more weight... but it needs the power to go along with it as well.
