well they haven't benchmarked a R35 or NSX in any of their public tests, and the recent announcement infers torque will be at most 400 with most rumors having HP around 350....on paper I'm not sure how the Supra would be able to prove anything with them. The R35 was underpriced when it came out, not the fairest thing to compare with
