It will be interesting to see how they compare, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the supra and Camaro be very alike numbers wise. If you get the upgraded Camaro packages I'd almost say it would outperform the 4 cylinder supra.
And if you get the ZL1 Camaro it will outperform the 6-cylinder Supra at the same price. I think it's safe to say that at any given price point, the Camaro is going to "outperform" the Toyota (86, 4cyl Supra, 6cyl Supra) in every instance. The existence of a 4 cylinder Supra doesn't change that.
Still, some of us would rather have a smaller, lighter-weight, shorter-wheelbase sports car even if it is slower vs. a much more powerful Camaro at the same price point.
For sure I would MUCH rather have:
FT86 >> 4 or 6 cylinder Camaro or Mustang
4-cylinder Supra >> V8 Camaro or Mustang
6-cylinder Supra >> Supercharged V8 Camaro or Mustang
