The only way you are going to drip that much weight is to build yourself a tube chassis and make yourself a dedicated race car...the heaviest parts of the Supra are the actual body/frame. The parts that you can practically swap...hood, fenders, hatch, glass, doors, interior, a/c, powersteering (not to practical in a 3000+ lbs car) don't really weigh that much. The Supra was designed to be heavy. It's a Grand Touring car...designed to drive at high speeds for extended periods of time on real world roads. Just come to terms with it and embrace what was planned for the car from Toyota. If you want a super light car...buy a CRX or AE86 (if you can find one).
