Also, Absolutely 350hp@3500lbs. is nothing to write home about when talking about an old american muscle car. However, imagine the same powere/weight ratio as a camaro delivered in as tight of a package as the FRS.. that to me, is something to write home about (Or "will be" I should say)

Yes, that is indeed unlikely out of the box for the 4-cylinder...I don't think anyone is expecting that power or weight for that version. I'd expect that out of the 6. And while these days making 350hp is almost easy, once upon a time 20 years ago that power moving a few hundred pounds shy of 3500 lbs were the kind of numbers you got from a C5 Corvette. That's probably a much fairer vehicle to compare to. While we of course also don't have legit info on Supra dimensions (yet), I wouldn't be surprised to find it to be similar to a C5 in most every dimension, except probably a bit shorter. Of course when it comes to handling, totally different story.
And all speculation, of course, but I don't think it's not sound. At least until Motor Trend leaks an internal Toyota memo of the car dimensions that they got while having a meeting at Los Pollos Hermanos with an engineer who agreed to meet as long as they could stay anonymous.
