There's more than that. The engine used in the Supra is a B58. And if you've been following the B58, it's a stout engine that is mod friendly plus has stock power ratings have been very conservative. The interior of the Supra is also BMW with BMW iDrive, HVAC controls, etc. I think the Toyota part is in helping with the overall development of the platform such as chassis tuning.
Unless you have a highly modified N55, I personally think that Supra would have walked you if not given you a good run. If the owner of that Supra modified it, even mildly, forget it.
