cre is correct, its very difficult to make definate comparions about vehicles, engines, drivetrains, simply by numbers due to the fact that there are millions of things that you can adjust on cars these days.. the only way to really compare them is by driving.. you cannot compare simply by power the power they make.
comparing a 1987 supra to another car of its day of equal price range is very difficult because as much as we wish our cars were built as high-performance race cars.. they weren't. the mk3's were built as luxury cross-country GT (grand touring) cars. think about it, they came with power seats (who knows how many directions they're adjustable), power windows, automatic a/c, headlamp washers, adjustable suspension, adjustable steering wheel, and the car weighs in at over 3500 pounds. this is in no way being able to be compared to a high-performance vehicle such as a porsche.. truth be told is that the supra cannot be accuratly compared to any other car from its day. It is a very unique vehicle.. don't try and compare your numbers to anyone else because supra's are so tuneable and make so much power with few mods (assuming its turbo) that it's unheard of.. now idk about 250 horse with few mods on an N/A.. i just don't believe that but who knows.
I don't try to compare my Supra to anything else because it is very difficult to do so for all the reasons listed above.
