But for me, anything over 3000lbs is too heavy. Power be damned, you can't replace the feeling of a light weight sports car with power. You can only subtract weight....and you can't subtract forever.

Yup. The Supra is at the point of weight reduction where it will become a completely gutted interior/track car if I go further. Other options aren't available (carbon replacement stuff beyond the hood).
Last major weight mods will be aluminum hat brake disks ($$$), flywheel, and ATI crank damper.
If I get some more money sorted out I will be doing hollow 7075-T6 rear suspension links. Even more $$$ for a compact CNC machine for billet 7075-T6 front lower control arms.
As some of you may now see by the fantasy/probably-not-really-going-to happen nature of my future mods (and what I and OST already know), this is why it is absolutely CRITICAL from a performance point that this car be as LIGHT AS POSSIBLE!
