Supra who?
This is their second turbo LS1 project. They used to have a streetable Camaro LS1 that was running in the high 9's pulling 60fts in the 1.45 range! Gotta love em, domestic or not.

Milquetoast. I know a $3000 junkyard Ford running stock 351W truck bottom end that was spinning slicks on the dyno at 680 whp. Welcome to the world of V8s, boost, and *****.
The only thing amazing about that is the fact they turbo'd a fourth generation F-body. You do realize there is zero underhood room to fit a turbo in those cars? They had to create some space, it would probably be easier to create a doorway to a pocket universe to hold your turbo setup than replicate it in our space-time.

~ 700 whp at 3900lbs? That only comes to 485 whp in a Pigtegra, or 350 whp in a run of the mill CRX, pretty mundane power numbers these days.
3900 lbs makes the LS1 easier to launch out of the hole, and a turbo Honda is usually owned by a stock F-body out of the hole to begin with. That's the area you can't compete in. Stick a B18 in your trunk or buy a Muffstank or something if the only real design problem Hondas have worries you.
